So interesting and so many references to people, places and things that I had to learn about . It took me a long time to read and so fascinating and I learnt so much of historical interest as well as the author’s family

Fascinating, it draws you in the more you read as the story unfolds. The author has researched his family meticulously and brought its history to life.

A riveting, fluent account, not only of a remarksable family but of the history and composition of Japanese netsuke figures. Compelling reading, but one minor quibble is the tiny font size of this paperback edition. I bought this to replace the original hardback edition, lost on holiday, but in which the font was much larger and more legible for those readers like myself who are visually impaired.

Love the research and historical background. Makes the late 18century Europe,albeit the rich and famous, come alive. Parallels with modern life.
