In 1949, in an unheated apartment in Manhattan, New York, Helen, a 33-year-old poor writer, accidentally saw an advertisement for a second-hand bookstore in London. She started writing letters to the London address out of sheer recklessness, and she did so for twenty years.
Many years later, the correspondence between her and the bookstore was called "the Bible of book lovers" and was constantly being interpreted. The address of the bookstore - 84 Charing Cross Road, has become a code among book lovers around the world.
For more than thirty years, people have read it, written about it, and performed it, greeting each other and warming each other in this legend.
