Tress and Distress

Item for the unsqueamish collector: A locket said to contain a snip of hair from Jane Austen will be auctioned on June 18. While the attribution is not certain, it is known that Austen's sister Cassandra cut several bits of hair soon after the author's death in 1817.

Details are here.--David E
