{"product_id":"2940169546590","title":"The Haunted Bookshop","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1917, Christopher Morley published \u003ci\u003eParnassus on Wheels\u003c\/i\u003e, a love letter to the art of bookselling. Its suspenseful sequel, \u003ci\u003eThe Haunted Bookshop\u003c\/i\u003e, finds his beloved characters married and still in love with both mystery and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in a lovingly evoked Brooklyn just after the end of World War I, \u003ci\u003eThe Haunted Bookshop\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114581541104,"sku":"2940169546590","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169546590_p0.jpg?v=1769896218","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169546590","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
