Helping a childhood friend restock her library after she lost everything, including her books, when her home was destroyed by a fire in Redding, California.
The next book in Leslie Williams Schwerdt’s library will be The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Twenty Years Walking the Mediterranean which was published last week.
The Idiot’s stoical and determined friend since the first grade, who’s a retired teacher, writes: “Restocking my bookshelf. Enjoying the great adventure of following the ‘Idiot’ around the Mediterranean again. Now waiting for book #3.”
