In 1917, Christopher Morley published Parnassus on Wheels, a love letter to the art of bookselling. Its suspenseful sequel, The Haunted Bookshop, finds his beloved characters married and still in love with both mystery and literature.

Set in a lovingly evoked Brooklyn just after the end of World War I, The Haunted Bookshop cleverly juxtaposes a pair of middle-aged bookshop owners and two young lovers with a nest of German saboteurs, complete with mysterious clues, red herrings, blushing romance, derring-do, a desperate race to the rescue, and an explosion. More important, the novel is an eloquent hymn to the bookseller’s trade and a fervent plea for the revivifying and redemptive power of literature. The unifying thread of this book, and indeed of the life and work of its author, is its passionate avowal: all that the world and everybody in it needs is a good book.

I so enjoyed listening to this book written in 1919! It was so refreshing to read a book without foul language without characters texting, Making phone calls or stealing information from computers. Refreshing to see a romance budding without sexual content. I enjoyed seeing the mystery develop And as always loving for the Gallant young man coming to rescue the Young woman in danger! The kind of story that is a good mystery and leaves you feeling good with a good ending! I appreciate the patriotic content

Refreshing change from modern literature!

Plus, I learned so much about books I should already have read in my life, and which I will be reading ASAP.
I just loved the Book Man and his wife. If only everyone felt it their duty to teach others what they have learned!
