The story is about Morris Lessmore. He loves words. He loves stories. He loves books. He’s even got a red book of his own where he’s writing down his own story.
One day, a great windstorm comes flying in and scatters everything in Morris’ life. Not knowing what to do or which way to go, Morris begins to wander. Along the way, he sees a lovely lady being pulled through the sky by a squadron of flying books. Seeing Morris is in need of a good story, she passes him one of her favorites.
Morris follows the book to a magnificent building where many books apparently “nest.” Inside is a marvelous sight of fluttering books uttering a thousand different stories. Upon this discovery, Morris does the only thing he can do, beginning a life among the books.
The story goes on to describe how Morris becomes a part of the family — making repairs, getting lost in an adventure, sharing books with others, and once again writing his own book. Years pass, and then comes the day when Morris fills the last page in his own book and decides it’s time to move on. He is transformed back into his younger self and flies away with his own squadron of books.
