About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Librivox recording of The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley. Read by J. M. Smallheer. Roger Mifflin is the somewhat eccentric proprietor of The Haunted Bookshop, a second-hand bookstore in Brooklyn that is "haunted by the ghosts of all great literature." Beginning with the arrival of a young advertising man and the mysterious disappearance of a certain volume from the shelves of the bookshop, a lively and often humorous tale of intrigue unfolds, generously sprinkled with liberal doses of Roger's unique philosophy on literature and book selling. (Summary by J. M. Smallheer) For more free audiobooks, or to become a volunteer reader, please visit librivox.org.
