 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.
