  We have obtained high resolution echelle spectroscopy of the recurrent nova T
CrB. We find that the surface lithium abundance in T CrB is signifcantly
enhanced compared to field M giants, where it is not detectable. We offer
possible explanations for this in terms of either a delay in the onset of
convection in the giant star, enhanced coronal activity due to star-spots or
the enhancement of Li resulting from the nova explosion(s).
