{"product_id":"gillette-castle-erik-ofgang-9781540216267","title":"Gillette Castle: A History","description":"During his career as an actor, William Gillette portrayed world-renowned character Sherlock Holmes in more than 1,300 performances. His career as a playwright and actor afforded him the opportunity to purchase a 184-acre estate, where he also built a twenty-four-room medieval-style castle. Overlooking the Connecticut River, Gillette's castle was complete with spy mirrors, sliding furniture, hidden rooms and a three-mile quarter-scale railroad. Since becoming a state park in 1943, it has evolved into one of Connecticut's most popular tourist attractions. Writer and award-winning journalist Erik Ofgang examines the history of an iconic structure and Gillette's life and role in the evolution of Sherlock Holmes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Ofgang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540216268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540216267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Erik Ofgang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987860783359,"sku":"9781540216267","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32849c6b-2169-40aa-903c-e90f41b92ca6.jpg?v=1683291284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gillette-castle-erik-ofgang-9781540216267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
