The Crazy Collector: Part 3

By DIANA HENDRY

There was no good reason for the next craze - the collection of boxes that began to grow under her bed. Matchboxes. Shoe boxes. Cardboard boxes that someone had packed a present in at Christmas. Big supermarket boxes. Those boxes you get from the corner shop with Cox's Apple Pippin on the side and bumpy, purple paper at the bottom where the apples sit. Old, wooden boxes Tess bought from junk shops with her pocket money. Boxes covered with shells. Tin boxes with pictures on the lids. Tiny, velvet-lined boxes that had once held gold rings. Money boxes without any money in them. Oh, and egg boxes. Loads and loads of egg boxes.In fact none of Tess's boxes had anything inside them.
