Parnassus  on  Wheels 

by  Christopher  Morley 
(1890-1957) 

Published  in  1917,  Morley's  first  novel  is 
about  a  fictional  traveling  book-selling 
business.  The  original  owner  of  the 
business,  Roger  Mifflin,  sells  it  to  39-year- 
old  Helen  McGill,  who  is  tired  of  taking 
care  of  her  older  brother,  Andrew.  Andrew 
is  a  former  businessman  turned  farmer, 
turned  author.  As  an  author,  he  begins 
using  the  farm  as  his  Muse  rather  than  a 
livelihood.  When  Mifflin  shows  up  with  his 
traveling  bookstore,  Helen  buys  it—partly 
to  prevent  Andrew  from  buying  it--and  partly  to  treat  herself  to  a  long- 
overdue  adventure  of  her  own.  (Wikipedia)
