Parnassus on Wheels

FROM SARAH:

First published in 1917. Utterly delightful and totally readable. I think it should have been titled The Revolt of Helen McGill, As Told By Herself. One of the best reads of the year, easy. It’s only 75 pages long. I wish more books were like this one! (fiction)

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Helen McGill lives with her older brother Andrew until one day, when Roger Mifflin shows up on their farm. "When you sell a man a book," says Mifflin, "you don't sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue; you sell him a whole new life." And just like that, Helen treats herself to a long-overdue adventure of her own.
