This is a wonderful book - I couldn't put it down. It is an account of a collection of netsuke owned by a succession of related family from 1871 to the present. The author is the fourth owner of the 264 netsukes. You also get a very personal look at both European and Japanese history and culture during this time, including the harrowing survival of the collection during the holocaust thanks to a beloved servant. Edmund de Waal brings to life what actually living through tumultuous times were like, including France in the 70's, pre-WWII and WWII in Vienna, ex-pats living in Japan after WWII plus some understanding of the life of a world-famous potter in England today Don't miss this book.

About The Book Man
I began selling books by chance at an Antiques & Collectors Fair. I now sell at fairs in the south east of England - Antiques & Collectors, Craft & Gift, Military, Christmas, Toy & Train etc. Now is the time to spread further afield. I tend to sell non-fiction, mainly history and art, although I will sell fiction if it is a signed first edition.
