Program Description

Event Details

This month we'll be discussing A Gentleman and a Thief by Dean Jobb.

The book tells the true story of Arthur Barry, one of the world's most successful burglars. He stole jewels worth $60 million dollars from a Rockefeller, a Woolworth heiress, and an oil magnate during the jazz age.

All are welcome, whether you read in print, braille, audio, or simply want to join the conversation. Engage in whatever way feels comfortable for you.

Request the book from the Talking Book & Braille Service.
