As a "semi-professional" genealogist, I was enamored with the tale of a furniture gilder who finds an unusual mirror that depicts Aesop's infamous tale of the fox and the grapes. Buying the mirror at auction, without really knowing what she had, Maryalice Huggins goes on to prove that this monstrous mirror was something more than expected. Through serious genealogical pursuit and proving provenance, she more than accomplished her task.
This book touched me on so many levels, I could scarce begin to explain them all to you!
I am a lover of antiques. Especially those that require a little digging to clearly define their provenance. And I am in love with the pursuit of genealogy. Huggins covers both in this well written work!
I highly recommend this work for anyone interested in antiques, pursuit of provenance, and genealogy!
I give Aesop's Mirror FIVE STARS and a Big THUMBS UP!!!
