From the Publisher:
“When you sell a man a book,” says Roger Mifflin, protagonist of these classic bookselling novels, “you don’t sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue — you sell him a whole new life.” The new life the itinerant bookman delivers to Helen McGill, the narrator of Parnassus on Wheels, provides the romantic comedy that drives the novel. Published in 1917, Morley’s Þrst love letter to the trafÞc in books remains a transporting entertainment. Its sequel, The Haunted Bookshop, Þnds Mifflin and McGill, now married, ensconced in Brooklyn. The novel’s rollicking plot provides ample doses of diversion, while allowing more room for Mifflin (and Morley) to expound on the intricacy of the bookseller’s art. Introduction by James Mustich, Jr.
About the Author:
Christopher Darlington Morley (1890-1957), American novelist, journalist, poet, and essayist, is the author of more than 100 novels, books of essays, and volumes of poetry. He was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, and after returning to America, he was an editor for Ladies' Home Journal and wrote for the New York Evening Post and other newspapers. He was one of the founders of the Saturday Review of Literature, and as a fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories, he helped to found the ''Baker Street Irregulars,'' a group dedicated to the study of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes works. He was also one of the first judges for the Book-of-the-Month Club. He is probably best known for his novel Kitty Foyle, which was an instant bestseller and the basis for an Academy Award-winning movie in 1940, a radio serial, and a television series.
