I have just discovered this site, and was pleased to do so, as I have been a fan of Norah Lofts for over forty years. I have a collection of all of her books, including some non-fiction. Best of all though, is the one given me by my son for Christmas a few years ago - a first edition of "Here Was a Man", and signed and dated November 1st, 1936. I treasure it!

Hi Ouma Fred. Not me unearthing treasures in ex aristocrats houses I'm afraid , I wish it were! But I'm so glad you are still having some luck. Most of my NL's are very unprepossesing , often with truly awful and unrepresentative pictures on the cover. Do join us at Fans of Norah Lofts on Goodreads.......

Hi Barbara,
You sent my curiosity dancing with your post. I love old books, they've turned me into some sort of a relic hunter scavenging through second hand book stalls in Nairobi. That's how I managed to get Norah Loft's 'The House At Old Vine' & 'The House At Sunset.' I hope I hope I'll get 'The Town House' to complete the trilogy. Sadly, Norah's book are nowhere in Nairobi's book stores.
Talking of your find, I am sure it's a great book. You unearthed it from a dwelling that once housed an aristocrat. Those folks had great taste! That book must be having the same. I would'nt mind having it under my custody. Let me know what you decide.

Hi all Norah Lofts fans,
I have found a hard cover copy (1956 printing I think) of Afternoon of an Autocrat in a recently cleaned out basement. Still highly readable, dust jacket is torn and some cover moisture damage. The binding is fine, no real damage to the printed pages. Not a bad read but not an author I want to add to my collection. Any interest out there for a copy or shall I send it to 'goodwill'?

I have just finished reading the house trilogy for the 3rd time after being introduced to Nora Lofts' books by my mother in the 1960's.
I have read and enjoyed lots of her books and she is still,along with Ken Follet, one of my favourite authors.
I have purchased several of her books very cheaply online from a website called 'Alibris' and wonder if this information could be useful to one of your previous message writers.
