Summary "The Haunted Bookshop" by Christopher Morley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Roger Mifflin, the quirky proprietor of a second-hand bookshop in Brooklyn named "Parnassus at Home." The book delves into themes of literature's significance in society, the intersection of books and personal growth, and the unique experiences that arise in the realm of bookselling. The beginning of the story introduces the reader to Mifflin's distinctive bookshop, characterized by its warm ambiance and eclectic collection of books. A young advertising agent named Aubrey Gilbert visits the shop to discuss a potential advertising deal, only to be met with Mifflin's unconventional philosophy that good literature serves as its own form of advertisement. Their conversation leads to a lively discussion about the role of books in society, and how Mifflin believes in "prescribing" books to customers based on their needs. As the narrative unfolds, the arrival of Titania Chapman, Mr. Mifflin's new apprentice, adds an intriguing dynamic, promising further explorations of literature's impact on individual lives as she adjusts to her new environment.
