“In the footsteps of literary giants I crossed the threshold of Shakespeare & Company and entered the world of famous writers and their books. A dream of mine come true in Paris…” – Annette Charlton

Shakespeare and Company

Today I’m going to share with you one of the loveliest English bookstores in Paris, Shakespeare and Company. I’ll share where it is, little tips on how to take home a souvenir from the bookstore and why I think you’ll love this Parisian bookstore.

Childhood memories and books blend together in my mind.  As a child some of my best memories revolve around books. My sister and I were avid readers, it could have been because as children we never had a television set until I was 13 years old, or maybe it was because books were our silent companions during the many happy church lectures and functions we attended as a family.

Or, it may have been that our mother and father read aloud to us each, and every night, until we could fluently read ourselves. What a precious gift our parents gave to us; the love of books and the joy of reading!
