Reading in English

A charming classic of contemporary literature: the correspondence between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York, and Frank Doel, a perfectly correct antiquarian bookseller in London. Through the years - from Britain's post-war London to the height of the Swinging Sixties - a moving friendship develops, nurtured by a shared love of old books and English literature.

This charming classic brings together twenty years of correspondence between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York City, and Frank Doel, a used-book dealer in London. Through the years - from Britain's post-war austerity to the height of the Swinging Sixties - though never meeting and separated both geographically and culturally, they share a winsome, sentimental friendship based on their common love for books. Their relationship, captured so acutely in these letters, is one that will grab your heart and not let go.
