Opis

The Olde Book Shoppe is a collection of stories about a bookshop on Jackson Boulevard in the City of Chicago. It once flourished until a fire swept the building, taking the valuable collection of old books as well as the elderly proprietor, Morris Liebemacher. Among the books that perished in the blaze was an ancient fairy tale book dating back hundreds perhaps thousands of years. It possessed the magical qualities of providing answers for those who were drawn to this unique volume. Its cover was constructed of the finest leather, etched with a simple gold filigree border around the title, The Magic of Fairy Tales. The inner pages were of the finest parchment paper, lettered on the left-hand pages by skilled calligraphers. The right-hand pages contained the finest hand-tinted illustrations, rendered with such skill they gave the impression of being three-dimensional. After serious deliberations, the Gods decided that it was not prudent to deprive the many who sought help from this book. They decreed that the shop would appear only when the need arose and disappear again when that need was met. Within these covers, you will find the tales of folks like you and me who had a need and found the answer in the magical fairy tale book located in The Old Book Shoppe on Jackson Boulevard in the bustling City of Chicago, Illinois.
