At the lower end, I love the astringency and ability of the authors to poke fun with the sharpness of a red-hot needle. At the top end, silver words and profound wisdom sometimes lead me to tears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I invite you to wallow or skip lightly. I hope there is something in this salmagundi to make you smile or catch the affections of your heart; to mingle quiet music with amiable irreverence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Chilton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912262770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912262779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clink Street Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"James Chilton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48486287704319,"sku":"9781912262779","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1a730e7-9c29-461b-82a4-12fb3e75d6b2.jpg?v=1778054743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-ragbag-of-riches-james-chilton-9781912262779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
