Their departure to rural life inspired Andrew to write several popular books on the glories of country living and simpler times, etc, etc. Her brother, Andrew McGill, is a well-regarded writer who purchased the farm after his business failed. It's the story of Helen McGill, a 39-year-old spinster living with her brother on a farm in upstate New York. Published in 1917, Parnassus on Wheels is the prequel to Christopher Morley's The Haunted Bookshop. It's a book about book lovers, and it's just 124 pages! But it was delightful! If you're looking for a quick, fun read, this is one I'd highly recommend. I think I ended up checking five different novellas out of the library, but I was only able to finish one. I know I'm catching the tail end, but I did want to write a quick post about the only novella I was able to manage this month for the August Art of the Novella Challenge.
