The Price of Everythinge by Harriet Wynter,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Price Of Every Thinge (Paperback)
The Price of Everythinge' by Harriet Wynter is twenty chapters of total entertainment and a journey through the fascinating life of an antique dealer. We read of the early struggles to survive as a single mother with two sons and a business to build. Through perseverance, sense of humour especially during the setbacks and characteristic raciness of style Harriet unfolds her experiences often funny and sometimes desperate..Harriet charts her life from her first shop in Brighton, making occasional forays into Paris with her car loaded to the gunnels under the eagle eye of Madame Petit, and maybe un peu exploited! Harriet's passion for porcelain moves into scientific instruments of which she becomes expert writing books and lecturing. Whether you are a professional in the antique trade or merely a layman gaining enjoyment through antiques, you will be well rewarded by this stimulating read. The narrative flows naturally and absorbs the reader with well selected anecdotes. As a footnote, do enjoy the chapters on `fakes and forgeries' and advice on how to start an Antique business - all well written with verve and wit. |
