Uncover some of Goodwood’s Great Books from the 16th to 18th century including complete sets of Shakespeare and stories of Br’er Rabbit.
On a tour of Goodwood Museum & Gardens, Dr. Michael Wagoner discovered a treasure trove.... a whole parlor-ful of books. He was intrigued. There were books from the 16th to 18th centuries, books signed by famous authors, first editions, rare books, a complete set of Shakespeare and stories about Br'er Rabbit. Dr. Wagoner’s tour of the house ended right there. He has continued researching the Goodwood books ever since.
Join Dr. Wagoner as he introduces you to this collection on May 3rd at Noon in Goodwood’s Jubilee Cottage.
