Nora Bingham lives at the edge of the forest and helps villagers get their word fix as the owner of Rare Bird Bookshop in Cumberland, BC. Growing up on Quadra Island she perfected the art of reading and walking at the same time, and now balances her appetite for books with roaming the woods and beaches of islands big and small. Nora is a lover of the written word in almost all its forms, and has a particular fondness for dictionaries.
