Laugh out loud exchange of letters between a writer and book shop in London
Charming book of letters exchanged between a New York writer and a London used book shop over a 20 year period beginning in 1949. Writer cajoles and lambastes the book seller for the books she wants, insisting they be of quality, not with cardboard covers. She always reads a book first from the public library before deciding to purchase it. She befriends first Frank, her correspondent, and eventually the book shop staff. She sends them packets of foods that are still rationed in the UK after WWII. Such a fun read, and gives you a slice of life of a NY writer. Helene Hanff wrote scripts for Elery Queen TV series, children's books, text books, and un-produced plays. Look for the sequel to this, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, as well.
We read this for my book group, and it got a unanimous thumbs up! Made into a movie in 1987 with Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft. Book published originally in 1970, re-published in 2013. Also available as an audio book.
Don't miss this one - it's a great read! And at 97 pages, a quick one that you can pick up at odd moments.
