Learn About Easons:

The business first opened its doors in 1819 under the name Johnston & Co. It has survived some of the most tumultuous periods in Irish history and grown since then to become the country’s leading book retailer. In 1886, during the exciting time of Parnell and the Land League, Charles Eason and his son purchased the company from W.H. Smith.

The organization’s principal focus was on participating in the 19th century’s literary and industrial revolutions. Their bookstands on trains could only be successful if the literacy rate increased. With a larger percentage of the population able to read and write, the written word became increasingly influential. (For more information, read “Eason & Son: A History” by L.M. Cullen, published in 1989.)

Her father created this model of a Parisian neighborhood so he could show his daughter the way back home. The atomic structure of the priceless diamond her father protects at the Museum of Natural History. The fortified coastal city where the father and daughter hide out from the Nazi invasion of Paris.
