World rights ALONG THE AMBER ROUTE – From St Petersburg to Venice, have been sold to Sandstone Press for publication in 2020.
Rich in anecdote and incident, it charts the origins of amber, the myths and legends that have grown up around it, its enduring fascination, the dazzling artefacts that have been made from it, and the often deadly struggles for control of this lucrative trade.
‘‘C.J. Schüler’s gift for crisp, quirky dialogue and incisive scene-sketching radiates a Patrick Leigh Fermor-like scholarship and originality. Brocaded with flavoursome detail, ‘Along the Amber Route’ is full of incident and anecdote and the oddest facts imaginable. Pure pleasure.’’
