The Lost Library Book
The Onslaught Press, 2016
The Lost Library Book is a true story about a medical textbook by Galen, published in 1537, which went missing from Marsh’s Library and turned up a century later in a curio shop in Harold’s Cross, where it was found by Amanda and her husband.
Written as creative non-fiction, and illustrated by Alice Durand Wiesel, The Lost Library Book is a story full of extraordinary coincidences, for children of all ages.
