Notes:

Following the Amber Route from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, C. J. Schler charts the origins of amber, the myths and legends that have grown around it, and the dazzling artefacts crafted from it and traded along the way. Schler reflects on the route's violent history through the centuries, not least his own family's experience of persecution and flight.
