{"product_id":"a-smattering-of-stanley-george-stanley-chappell-9781719440936","title":"A Smattering of Stanley: Poems and Memoir","description":"George Chappell's third book of poetry pays tribute to his late maternal grandfather, Stanley H. Hamm, a professional musician and bandleader from Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. The book also shares comments on nature, gun control, substance abuse, and warfare, as well as a coming-of-age memoir on reflection. George says his grandfather, a widower, whose wife died of the flu death following the First World War, led his band and took care of his 5-year-old daughter, subsequently George's mother. \"Our lives overlapped for 10 months in 1937, the year I was born and the year he died at the age of 53. My mother took care of us both in the same home. I've always had this strange feeling that his spirit has looked out for me. This book honors him for his inspiration.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Stanley Chappell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 171944093X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781719440936\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 06\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.15d","brand":"George Stanley Chappell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485910249727,"sku":"9781719440936","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_704c6b40-be29-4601-88bf-a2ce04145931.jpg?v=1778052437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-smattering-of-stanley-george-stanley-chappell-9781719440936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
