{"product_id":"mary-toft-or-the-rabbit-dexter-palmer-9780525432739","title":"Mary Toft; Or, the Rabbit Queen","description":"In 1726, in the town of Godalming, England, a woman confounded the nation's medical community by giving birth to seventeen rabbits. This astonishing true story is the basis for Dexter Palmer's stunning, powerfully evocative new novel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Surgeon's apprentice Zachary Walsh knows that his master, John Howard, prides himself on his rationality. But John cannot explain how or why Mary Toft, the wife of a local journeyman, has managed to give birth to a dead rabbit. When this singular event be­comes a regular occurrence, John and Zach­ary realize that nothing in their experience as rural physicians has prepared them to deal with a situation like this--strange, troubling, and possibly miraculous. John contacts sev­eral of London's finest surgeons, three of whom soon arrive in Godalming to observe, argue, and perhaps use the case to cultivate their own fame. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When King George I learns of Mary's plight, she and her doctors are summoned to London, where Zachary experiences a world far removed from his small-town ex­istence and is exposed to some of the dark­est corners of the human soul. All the while Mary lies in bed, as doubts begin to blossom among her caretakers and a growing group of onlookers waits with impatience for an­other birth, another miracle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dexter Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525432736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525432739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Dexter Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047379038463,"sku":"9780525432739","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f479aa5b-9583-4a66-9587-96cbea9a4140.jpg?v=1684989868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mary-toft-or-the-rabbit-dexter-palmer-9780525432739","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
