This is a story told from the
perspective of a bookstore! You heard me right. The
Shakespeare and Company Bookstore in Paris was opened by Sylvia
Beach in 1919. Sylvia loved books and wanted to create a
bookstore that would welcome everyone. And did it ever. Many
famous authors spent time in the bookstore through the years.
The bookstore is still open but in a new spot. It was closed in
1940 when the Nazis invaded Paris. But it reopened after the war
ended.
