{"product_id":"how-the-dutch-came-to-blanche-mcmanus-9781616401924","title":"How the Dutch Came to Manhattan","description":"This concise history of the early years of European contention over the island of Manhattan was published in 1897 as a children's book, complete with numerous charming pen-and-ink drawings by the author. But with its lively, entertaining prose and smart approach that doesn't condescend to its young reader, it's still a charming read for adults today. Covering the discovery and settlement of what would become the Big Apple, this is a lovely gift for a steadfast New Yorker, a devotee of early children's books, or anyone interested in how the telling of history can be a vigorous, vivacious tale. American author and illustrator BLANCHE MCMANUS (1870-1935) was a beloved writer for children in her day, also authoring The True Mother Goose (1895) and The Voyage of the Mayflower (1897). For adults, she wrote The American Woman Abroad (1911).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Blanche McManus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616401923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616401924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Blanche McManus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47759332376831,"sku":"9781616401924","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81f786be-d405-40fd-acb2-a50c55fd9a55.jpg?v=1765512493","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-the-dutch-came-to-blanche-mcmanus-9781616401924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
