About this book
Roger Mifflin, the wandering bookseller of Parnassus on Wheels, has settled down. He now runs a secondhand shop in Brooklyn called Parnassus at Home, where books, he insists, are haunted by the ghosts of everything they contain. Into this cluttered, cozy world walks Aubrey Gilbert, a young advertising man smitten with Mifflin's new assistant, Titania. When a particular volume keeps vanishing and reappearing from the shelves, Aubrey senses something darker at work in the closing days of the First World War. Morley wraps a genuine mystery inside his love letter to bookselling, with a plot that turns on wartime intrigue. Published in 1919, it stands as one of the warmest thrillers ever set among dusty stacks. This free PDF and EPUB edition includes the complete novel.
