Fourth Wednesday Book Club: The Feather Thief

Join us as we discuss The Feather Thief, by Kirkland Wallace Johnson. It’s nonfiction, but reads like fiction because it seems too weird to be true. A musician becomes fascinated by the Victorian art of fly-tying for fishing and the high end of a subculture that values rare feathers for making unique flies. In order to feed his growing obsession, he steals rare birds from a museum collection. This is a true-crime, fascinating journey to attempt to bring to justice the “feather thief.”
