The Enchanted Ear: Lured into the Music Box Cosmos

by Larry Karp

The Enchanted Ear tells the story of a collector's education, experience and there's the thrill of the chase, the pain of irrevocable loss, the joy of love's labor rewarded. No dry treatise on collecting and restoring antique music boxes, The Enchanted Ear is an on-going narrative of the wonders and perils of life. Collectors will smile in recognition as they read this book. And if you're not a collector, watch you may suddenly find yourself wandering through antique shops and auction galleries.

Larry Karp practiced perinatal medicine and wrote general nonfiction before turning his back on medical work to write mystery novels full-time. The backgrounds and settings of Larry's mysteries reflect many of his interests, including musical antiques, medical-ethical issues, and ragtime music. His current book, The King of Ragtime, the second work in a ragtime mystery trilogy, centers on a real-life dispute between Scott Joplin and Irving Berlin over the alleged theft of a piece of music."
