This book tells the stories of several antique boxes that, like the author, were born in foreign places and have spent long lives traveling through time and space.
We hear from the ghosts of their original owners, long dead, and also the voices of the boxes still alive, refreshed from careful restoration and living in America.
"Echoes From The Past: Chronicles of Enchanted Relics and Their Time Travelling Odyssey" by Glenn Wood is a fascinating collection of stories that delve into the rich histories of antique treasures. Through this book, Wood brings to life the journeys and adventures of various artifacts, exploring their significance and the secrets they hold. The narrative intertwines historical context with imaginative storytelling, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in antiques and their storied pasts. Wood's previous works, including "The Art & History of Violin Cases," showcase his expertise and passion for preserving the legacy of these precious objects​
Readers may also appreciate an earlier work by the same author devoted to
'The Art & History of Violin Cases'.
Like the boxes described in Messengers in Time and Echoes from the Past, violin cases have been traditionally made of wood, have a public exterior and a more private interior and are designed to house precious objects.
The Art & History of Violin Cases follows the development of violin cases from the 17th century through to the present and even includes examples made by the greatest of all violin makers, Antonio Stradivari.
