Nonfiction Book Club

This month, we will discuss Custodians of Wonder: Ancient customs, profound traditions, and the last people keeping them alive by Eliot Stein. From the publisher’s website: Climbing through Peru’s southern highlands, he encounters the last Inca bridge master who rebuilds a grass-woven bridge every year from the fabled Inca Road System. He befriends a British beekeeper who maintains a touching custom of “telling the bees” important news of the day. And he crunches through a German forest to find the official mailman of the only tree in the world with its own address – to which countless people from across the world have written in hopes of finding love. These are just some of the last custodians preserving age-old rites on the brink of disappearance against all odds. Let Eliot Stein introduce you to all of them. Copies of this book are available at the library. Our discussion will be on Zoom.
