Kaye bought her first fan at the Luce Plantation on the James River in Richmond, Virgina. Itis made of Mother of Pearl and she became interested in furthering her collection after becoming fascinated with this fan. She has been collect- ing fans for over four years and is helped with her collection by her sister, Jo, who attends estate sales and buys some for her. The display includes some ve unusual fans; there are 3 silk fans made in Occupied Japan; a black lace fan from Louisiana and a red lace fan with maple leaves made by an American Indian early in the 1900's. There is a rare feather fan from the Luce Plantation and a pearl fan, which is pre-civil war era. One unique smaller fan is made from a lady's hankerchief; there are several small colorful fans; and some larger floral fans from China and Japan. Included in the display are two real peacock feathers loaned by Jane, a staff member. This display adds some color to the office area and will be in the library until November 23. New books The library has many books on feathers and fans; one particular book, “Feathers; Plain and Fancy” by Hilda Simon is a nontechnical book that reveals what science has learned about these unique skin structures which enable birds to fly. There is also an interesting sam- pling of unusual plumage—the magnificent ornamental feathers of exotic pheasants, birds of paradise, and the strange lyrebird. Through- out the book are exquisitely beauti- ful color illustrations nd meticu- lously drawn diagrams. As a tie-in with this current dis- play, Victoria Holt's latest book, “The India Fan” is currently a best seller and very popular with our library patrons. It is a delightful story with its main character, Drusilla Delany and the excitement involved with the Framling estate. Drusilla be- come an unlikely heir to an extraor- dinary bejeweled fan made of pea- cock feathers. The fan is priceless and dazzingly beautiful to behold; however, it bears a curse that prom- ises ill fortune and death to all who possess it. The exciting atmosphere and exhilarating adventure of Victo- rian England, France, and exotic India is woven into a thrilling tale of passion, betrayal, and intrigue, which will keep you breathless until the final page. The reigning queen of romantic suspense has another international bestseller.
