Jan and Cora Gordon

I started collecting books by Jan and Cora Gordon many years ago, books about travel and art.  I must admit that I had not looked at the books for ages   - other interests intervened!  Then when looking at the new ebooks on Project Gutenberg I spotted Poor Folk in SpainThe Luck of Thirteeen is also available on Project Gutenberg.

Read more about Jan and Cora Gordon:

Vagabonds Abroad, by Duncan J D Smith: "during the 1920s the British couple Jan and Cora
Gordon were something of a cultural phenomenon."

The Jan and Cora Gordon Appreciation Blog "I have been researching the life and work of Jan and Cora Gordon for some 32 years. I have accumulated possibly the biggest collection of the their work and artifacts in private hands. The research started in 1978 and is ongoing to this day. It is a long slow and hard process as it has been funded entirely by myself."
