{"product_id":"an-inquisitive-eye-sybil-nowell-9781860645242","title":"An Inquisitive Eye: Travels of an American Lady in the British Empire of The1930s","description":"When Sybil Hall Nowell set off from San Francisco one February morning in 1935 on a round-the-world trip with her husband Jack, the energetic American couple fell into the embrace of the British Empire with great gusto. As they traveled through Australia and New Zealand and then through Africa up to Britain they delighted in the formality, civility, and good manners that defined at least the surface of the British imperial experience. During their four-month voyage, Sybil Nowell studiously wrote letters home at every stop, describing this calm and orderly world. Sybil Nowell's letters, introduced and edited here by Robert N. White (her grandson) who has provided useful historical and political commentary, portray the easy complacency of Empire that came with power, privilege, and prestige.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sybil Nowell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1860645240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781860645242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Radcliffe Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 5.63w x 0.73d","brand":"Sybil Nowell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437116567807,"sku":"9781860645242","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ba26bd9-ce17-411f-8361-2b873e2b8603.jpg?v=1777159974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-inquisitive-eye-sybil-nowell-9781860645242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
