Blurb
Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley is a charming novella about Helen McGill, a middle-aged woman who feels unappreciated after years of caring for her brother, a successful writer. Her life changes when Roger Mifflin, a traveling bookseller, arrives in his book-filled wagon called Parnassus on Wheels. On impulse, Helen decides to buy the wagon and take over his business, seeking adventure and independence for the first time. As she travels through the countryside selling books, she discovers the joy of reading, self-reliance, and unexpected companionship. The story is a lighthearted celebration of books, freedom, and the transformative power of literature.+
