Roger Mifflin, the bookseller of Parnassus on Wheels, now keeps a secondhand shop in Brooklyn, haunted only by the ghosts of great literature. A young advertising man calls to sell him publicity, falls for the rich girl Titania Chapman who has come to clerk there, and grows suspicious when a copy of Carlyle’s Cromwell keeps disappearing from the shelves.
A cosy literary mystery and a love letter to bookshops, packed with the reading lists and opinions of a born bookman. Download the free EPUB.
