Original Toronto Star caption: Real treasures are seldom stumbled on by casual shoppers but a day of browsing through the antique shops and junk stores of London can still be rewarding if you keep an eye peeled for the unusual; something that will make a more meaningful souvenir than a postcard view of of Big Ben.

Frank Crane: The opera singer turned antique dealer was tired of the urban jungle so he retreated into the woods with his wife, Verena, and built himself a log cabin. And you can see the cabin Frank built! It's cathedral sized. Just the thing for housing such treasures as the Chinese tomb figure from the T'ang period (618 to 906 A.D.) which he is holding. These things are on trust, he says.
