    The unique, fairy tale-like and simple dramatic core of the story, sadness, warmth, slow and calm, healing but not sensational, is a precious legacy left by the best-selling literature in the Victorian period. Britain is the light of civilization. (It should be criticized by many people that it is not prominent enough as a movie audio-visual, so please criticize it)

The Bookshop quotes

  • [first lines]

    Narrator: She told me once: "When we read a story, we inhabit it; the covers of the books are like a roof and four walls: a house." She, more than anything else in the world, loved the moment when you've finished a book and the story keeps playing like the most vivid dream in your head.

    [seagulls cawing]

  • Florence Green: What else do people think the old house could be used for? Why have they done nothing about it in the past seven years? There were birds nesting in it. Half the tiles were off the roof and it stank of rats. Wouldn't it be better to fill the place with books for people to look at?

    Mr. Keble: I read before going to sleep, and usually drift off to the Land of Nod by about the third page.

    Florence Green: So you see? Don't you realize how useful books can be?
