Watch Review

Recommended: Young Adult and over

Hanff who  was in search of obscure classics and British literature titles that she had been unable to find  in her locality led her to a correspondence with a bookstore who fulfilled her requests. A long-distance friendship developed between the bookseller Frank Doel, Hanff and other staff members, with an exchange of Christmas packages, birthday gifts and food parcels to help with the post-World War II food shortages in Britain.  The letters speak on their lives ,books and current events
