What did Oliver Erichson Janson
have in common with his father Edward Wesley Janson (1882-1891) ?
They both lived in Fortis Green and they both had beetlemania.
You can still buy the book Edward wrote in 1863 on Amazon today – well, a replica copy but there must be continuing interest in his work. What I like about these two is the story that Oliver 1850-1925, son of Edward, spent his early years collecting beetles at Fortis Green , Finchley, Hampstead and Highgate and became a world authority on coleoptera. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetle
So next time your children say they’re bored – send them out to see what they can find. You never know where it will lead.
