Parnassus on Wheels

What a delight this book was to read! It's the story of a woman approaching middle-age who impulsively decides to buy a traveling bookstore on a cart, pulled by a horse. The book is a joy for anyone who loves books.

This book is a sweet, fun, and funny adventure through the countryside full of odes to good books. I had no idea what to expect when I started it, but I found the characters charming, and it moved along so quickly I was able to finish it in an evening.
