Summary "The Haunted Bookshop" by Christopher Morley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the character Roger Mifflin, the eccentric owner of a unique bookstore named "Parnassus," located in Brooklyn. The shop is not just a place for selling books; it has a distinctive atmosphere filled with literature and the allure of ghosts, which serves as a backdrop for the unfolding tale of literary passion and the connection between readers and books. The opening of "The Haunted Bookshop" introduces readers to Roger Mifflin and his charmingly unusual bookstore environment. On a chilly evening, a young advertising man named Aubrey Gilbert arrives at the store, hoping to discuss marketing strategies. Instead, he finds himself engaged in a spirited conversation with Mifflin, who espouses the notion that the best advertisement for books is the books themselves. The dialogue reveals Mifflin's philosophy regarding literature and encourages readers to consider the deeper value and necessity of books in overcoming life's challenges. As the interaction unfolds, a sense of intrigue and warmth pervades the story, setting the tone for the adventures and themes that are likely to follow as the narrative progresses.
