This book offers groundbreaking insights into the portrayal of librarians in fiction, analyzing how authors have depicted them from the time of Prince Otto to the present day. The author demonstrates that far from being the stereotype of the half-asleep, bookish recluse, librarians are often central to the plot, reflecting the changing attitudes towards libraries and the profession itself.
