The Great Victorian Collection
by Brian Moore
About this book
On a weekend visit to Carmel, California, sober and respectable Anthony Maloney has an extraordinary dream which is to change the pattern of his entire life. He dreams that outside his hotel window, on a previously empty parking-lot, an open-air market has appeared containing dazzling collection of priceless Victoriana. Laid out before him he sees a vast array of exquisite furniture, paintings, jewellery, tapestries and musical instruments - a fantasy beyond measure for Maloney, a lifelong enthusiast. Waking from this strange reverie, he crosses to window, only to discover that his dream has come true... Set in fantastic, surreal world, The Great Victorian Collection is a fascinating exploration of the disturbing, intangible nature of reality.
