university of aberdeen. 2009
In 2007 I bought a wooden box from a car-boot sale in Preston. The box was locked and didn’t come with a key.
With the help of a locksmith I eventually got the box open (it took me months to get round to doing it). Inside the box was a shallow tray full of old papers, postcards, and a couple of buttons.
Under the tray, packed with shredded paper, were the study skins of 4 beautiful wrens.
