Synopsis: A born story teller and musician Robert Haven Schauffler has long delighted his friends with these humorous adventures which the insistence of his listeners and his publishers has finally persuaded him to put on paper. The result is an original sort of book; two short novels and briefer "Encores" with laughter and color to every page. Here for the first time appears the story – stranger than fiction – of how the author in search of a cello in Venice repeatedly spurns a black monstrosity which seems to pursue him. He reluctantly buy it regrets the bargain is saved from selling it for a song by a blind man with a perfect ear and a bed ridden fiddly doctor. The latter miraculously restores it to beauty and glorious vitality and proves it to be the oldest instrument of its kind known to exist – the "Shakespeare cello". Here too are other experiences of equal fascination. Insurance & handling is included free. Extra Charges/Fees apply on Shipments Outside The U.S. and Expedited Shipments.
