A reasonable enjoyable read.
BS Moreton has a perfect life. Archivist to the Earl of Duntisbourne, he is admired by his colleagues for his intellect and steely morality, but when Sam Westbrook arrives from the British Museum to create a new exhibition from a unique hoard of erotic artefacts which have been locked away from public view for over a century, he is appalled, believing the collection will corrupt the minds of the visitors to Duntisbourne Hall. Sam has other worries. Is the collection real, or is it an elaborate eighteenth-century dirty joke? Did Peter the Great actually own a pudenda display tray by Fabergé? And could the eighteenth-century smother box really be in the style of William Kent?
As the new curator digs deeper, BS Moreton’s world begins to unravel, and the secret behind the Dywenydd Collection turns out to be more surprising than anyone could have guessed.
