{"product_id":"a-child-of-the-jago-arthur-morrison-9781979033534","title":"A Child of the Jago","description":"This novel, first published in 1896, is the story of Dick Perrot, born and bred in the Jago; but it is also a brilliant portrait of the community. The Jago is a London slum where crime and violence are the only way of life, and from which there is no escape for the inhabitants. Only the characters themselves are fictional: Morrison's descriptions of the fearful physical conditions are based directly on what he saw. He conjures up an extraordinarily vivid picture of a world which, even as he wrote, was about to vanish in one of the first of the slum clearance schemes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Morrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1979033536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781979033534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.26d","brand":"Arthur Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761332023551,"sku":"9781979033534","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e68abfb-17ab-4199-9d0c-e84bb157c685.jpg?v=1706681028","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-child-of-the-jago-arthur-morrison-9781979033534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
