À propos de cet audio

 Parnassus on Wheels is the story of a marvelous man, small in stature, wiry as a cat, yet Olympic in personality. Roger Mifflin is part pixie, part sage, part noble savage, and all God's creature. With his traveling book wagon, named Parnassus, he moves through the New England countryside of 1915 on an itinerant mission of enlightenment. Mifflin's delight in books and authors (if not publishers) is infectious. With his singular philosophy and bright eyes, he comes to represent the heart and soul of the book world.

A roaring good adventure yarn spiced with fiery roadside brawls, the most groaning boards in the history of Yankee cookery, heroic escapes from death, and a rare love story, Roger Mifflin's story shows how bookselling can be one of the world's highest callings: dispelling ignorance while causing constant delight.

I love Audible Plus, as I wouldn’t have ended up with this book in my library otherwise. And what a lovely discovery! Any book lover will enjoy this tale first published in 1917. It will make you reflect on how people accessed books in earlier times. Very rich characters, obviously written by a reader. An enchanting tale - now I shall go on to listen to the sequel!

What a delightful tale!
