Down forgotten alleyways and quiet streets, mysterious bookstores only reveal themselves to people who need the special volumes on their shelves. People who are lonely, people who are lost, or people who want an unforgettable experience, find themselves inexplicably drawn to particular works. The keepers of the book, just as strange as the stores themselves, will "Where would you venture inside the Phantom's Opera?""Have you dreamed of sitting at Arthur's Round Table?""Would you dare to meet Frankenstein?" Follow nine authors as they weave tales of characters finding exactly what they need, expected or not, inside the pages of a book. With stories across the ages from the heroes of the Iliad, to the madness of Alice's Wonderland, to the horror of H.P. Lovecraft, adventure awaits. So get your favorite French wine, or heart-shaped tart, and dive into a good book. Literally.
Getting lost in a book… and finding yourself along the way.
Where to begin? There is something for everyone within the pages of books. Not always what you want… but somehow revealing what you need. The authors in this collection breathe life into classic novels and reveal how our own stories can have just as much impact on others as our favorite characters can have on us. I loved this story from start to finish and recommend it to anyone who loves getting lost in other worlds.
