The Haunted Bookshop was a delightful place, especially of an evening, when its drowsy alcoves were kindled with the brightness of lamps shining on the rows of volumes. Many a passer-by would stumble down the steps from the street in sheer curiosity; others, familiar visitors, dropped in with the same comfortable emotion that a man feels on entering his club."
"Helen McGill é unha muller de 39 años que vive nunha granxa co seu irmán, Andrew, ao que só lle interesa converterse nun escritor famoso. Helen está cansa de ter que coidar sempre del, así que, cando Roger Mifflin se presenta na súa casa coa intención de venderlle a súa librería ambulante a Andrew, decide mercala ela mesma. Helen quere aproveitar esta oportunidade para vivir as súas propias aventuras e percorrer o mundo, e a travesía co señor Mifflin, chea de andanzas e sucesos extraordinarios, fai que se entusiasme coa natureza e cos libros e descubra os valores e o estilo de vida dun vendedor ambulante."
"Before time as we know it began, gods and goddesses lived in the city of Asgard. Odin All Father crossed the Rainbow Bridge to walk among men in Midgard. Thor defended Asgard with his mighty hammer. Mischievous Loki was constantly getting into trouble with the other gods, and dragons and giants walked free. This collection of Norse sagas retold by author Padraic Colum gives us a sense of that magical time when the world was filled with powers and wonders we can hardly imagine."
"Roger Mifflin’s bookshop is no ordinary store. Tucked away in Brooklyn, The Haunted Bookshop doesn’t sell ghost stories—it’s haunted by the spirits of great literature. When young advertising man Aubrey Gilbert steps inside, he expects a simple business transaction. What he finds instead is a world of intrigue, wisdom, and unexpected danger.
The eccentric yet sharp-witted bookseller, Roger Mifflin, lives for books, but something unusual is happening in his quiet shop. A valuable book disappears without a trace, and Mifflin insists that sinister forces are at play. Aubrey, skeptical but intrigued, is drawn into a literary mystery that will test his intellect, courage, and even his heart. Meanwhile, a charming and independent young woman, Titania Chapman, enters the picture, challenging societal expectations and proving that bookshops might be the perfect setting for both romance and adventure.
Set just after World War I, The Haunted Bookshop is both a celebration of literature and a thrilling mystery that explores the power of books in shaping minds and lives. Morley’s clever dialogue, literary references, and sharp social observations make this a delightful read for bibliophiles and mystery lovers alike.
A charming blend of mystery, romance, and literary passion—perfect for fans of classic bookshop tales and intellectual adventure!"
"'Kathleen' is a 1920 novel by Christopher Morley. It tells the story of a group of eight Oxford undergrads who call themselves 'The Scorpions.'

Christopher Morley (1890–1957) was an American author, poet and journalist from Pennsylvania. His father was a mathematics professor and his mother a violinist. The family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1900 and he later studied modern history at Oxford. After getting his degree, he moved back to America and married Helen Booth Fairchild, with whom he had four children. Morley was a prolific writer and is remembered for novels such as 'Parnassus on Wheels' (1917), 'The Haunted Bookshop' (1918), 'Thunder on the Left' (1925), and 'Kitty Foyle' (1939)."
"Written just before Prohibition, 'In the Sweet and Dry' tries to entail the possible troubles that might happen in the future. It takes both sides of the argument, and sketches out the various methods that could be used, some of them being rather over-the-top, like legislating most fruits and vegetables as unsafe, or intoxicating large groups with breathable alcohol.

The novel is told from the perspective of Mrs McGill and was in part inspired by David Grayson’s novel 'The Friendly Road.'
Morley wrote a sequel to this story called 'The Haunted Bookshop.'

"'The Haunted Bookshop' is a so called 'bibliomystery' (a mystery story set in the world of books) from 1919. It is the story of the eccentric owner of the Haunted Bookshop, Roger Mifflin, who some readers might remember from 'Parnassus on Wheels'. This second-hand, Brooklyn bookstore is 'haunted by the ghosts of all great literature.'
It is set around the time of the end of World War I. A young man, Aubrey Gilbert, stops by the shop, trying to sell Mifflin advertising copy. He fails but is intrigued by the proprietor. Later, a certain volume mysteriously disappeared from Mifflin’s shelves. This is a lively and often humorous tale. It is full of intrigues and is generously sprinkled with liberal doses of Mifflin’s unique philosophy on literature and book selling.
