This charming classic, first published in 1970, brings together twenty years of correspondence between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York City, and a used-book dealer in London. Through the years, though never meeting and separated both geographically and culturally, they share a winsome, sentimental friendship based on their common love for books. Their relationship, captured so acutely in these letters, is one that will grab your heart and not let go.
Helene Hanff (Filadelfia, 1918-Nueva York, 1997), de formación autodidacta, inició su carrera literaria escribiendo obras de teatro y, más adelante, guiones para la televisión, libros infantiles, ensayos históricos y políticos y colaboraciones en el New Yorker y Harper's. La fama le llegó después de publicar 84, Charing Cross Road, que inspiró una película protagonizada por Anne Bancroft y Anthony Hopkins
