Parnassus on Wheels - Christopher Morely

The beguiling but little known prequel to Christopher Morely''s beloved Haunted Bookshop (Dodo Press, 2007), the story of a fictional travelling book-selling business. Here, the new life which the travelling bookman delivers to Helen McGill, who buys the business from him, provides for a romantic comedy which drives this charming love letter to a life dedicated to books. This prequel, the first in a series of three novels written in 1917, is written from a woman''s perspective.
