![]() ![]() Morley's first novel shows all the promise of his later works like Kathleen and The Haunted Bookshop. This is a light-hearted and charming snapshot of a by-gone era-days when travel by horse and wagon was the norm. So, she decides to buy it and treat herself to a well-deserved vacation and adventures of her own. Because she knows if Andrew takes off in the bookcart for more adventures to write up he won't show up at the farm for several months. One day Roger Mifflin, owner of the Parnassus on Wheels traveling bookshop, shows up at the gate hoping to sell his wares (lock, stock & barrel) to the famous author. It tells the story of Helen McGill who is getting tired of taking care of her older brother Andrew who has recently become a famous "homespun" author and who is spending less and less time doing the farm chores that are supposed to be his end of the bargain. Parnassus on Wheels (1917) is the first novel by Christopher Morley.
