      There are too many books in Hay-on-Wye. Finding a treasure does not have the same sense of victory as finding something at a jumble sale in Invergordon or a junk shop in Stalybridge. But it doesn’t stop me browsing. I find a tiny pocket book of myths

      A man meets a mysterious older lady in a strange coffee shop. She invites him to her estate where he assumes he is to fix her chimneys as he is a chimney doctor. Her niece lives with her and has seven suitors who have a pact to court her en masse so no one had an unfair advantage over the others. There is a mystery with the chimneys and the suitors. Pretty predictable. Funny, but drags on a bit. The "old maid" aunt is a strange and eccentric character that would not make sense in modern times.
