(I'm wearing my bicorn writing this.) I love your pendant idea, I've got a locket with a similar picture. Vive l'empereur!; August 15, 2011 at 11:13 PM

Why Napoleon?

My Napoleon obsession is over twenty years old.
And I am talking about Napoleon Bonaparte - NOT Dynamite.
I have been reading and locating Napoleonic books on my own for so long that I find myself constantly thinking, "What would Napoleon do?" (WWND for short)
Having traveled to Paris several times, I am sure I have bored my traveling companions with all my Napoleon trivia. Paris is my favorite place to be and I am compelled to visit the Napoleonic sites annually. I have never met another Napoleon collector, so I am left to mutter quietly to myself about all the things I learn about when I study yet another Napoleon related book or article. So, I have started this blog as a place to record my Napoleon findings and to show you some of the art I make with Napoleonic imagery. Along the way, I hope to meet some Napoleon fans.
