La librería del señor Livingstone

  ‘'-I need to read Alice, by Lewis Carroll.-In Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass?-I'd prefer at home.''
In the Temple area, between Fleet Street and the Embankment in the City of London, you'll find a bookshop owned by a formidable gentleman -who is anything but gentle- Dickens would be proud to have conceived for one of his exceptional novels. This bookshop provides refuge for a boy whose head is not in the clouds but in the stars, an aspiring writer and a barefoot fairy from Spain who has dedicated her life to Antiquity and its enchantment. A bookshop that marries Aristotle, Plato, Voltaire to Tim Burton, Alphonse Mucha and Gustave Doré. Shelley and Byron, Shakespeare and Walter Scott, William Faulkner and Tolkien, George R.R. Martin and Jean Teule. 
You will meet a lady who has fallen passionately in love with reading and demands that Frodo not die, more chapters in a book already finished, and wishes to start a correspondence with fictional characters. Customers who think that a bookshop sells DVDs, and others who can't tell the difference between a series and a stand-alone novel. No matter. There are scones, hot chocolate, and Earl Grey on the ready for the happy few who understand. Livingstone is cantankerous and charming. Agnes is the driving force of change, John Lockwood couldn't be more different than his infamous namesake from Wuthering Heights, Oliver Twist (not THAT Oliver Twist) will form a true household in your heart. 
As you live day after day within the heart of this enchanting bookshop, you will experience London at its finest. The city of Literature is right there from St Pancras to Middle Temple Gardens, from Marylebone to the Tower of London and the Leadenhall Market. It has captivated your heart and will not let it go. 
In one of the most beautiful books you will ever read, Moonlight Books is there to make us dream and realise that books have the power to change us. Perhaps, only books can actually make a difference...An ode to courage, to London and its unique atmosphere, a hymn to TRUE Literature (and not the garbage advertised by the illiterate Karen, Sharon and Tracy of Instagram and TikTok)
Do yourselves a favour. Go and read some REAL Literature.
‘'-Most people aren't interesting. They are petty-minded.-Your dear Mr Livingsone began to think like that and look how he ended up.-How?-Living inside his books.-Then, he lives the best life.''
