{"product_id":"penrod-and-sam-booth-tarkington-9780253342287","title":"Penrod and Sam","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Penrod and Sam, the imaginative adventures of Tarkington's 10-year-old Penrod Schofield continue. Penrod's sidekick is Samuel Williams, and together they improvise, causing general mischief and disorder wherever they go. In picaresque fashion, a fencing battle takes them all through the neighborhood; they narrowly escape serious injury while making boastful demonstrations with a loaded gun; they indulge in dubious \"'nishiation\" practices for their secret society; they steal food for the starving horse concealed in the Schofields' empty stable; they attempt to fish a cat out of a cistern using a pair of trousers; and they cause general chaos at Miss Amy Rennsdale's dance. Familiar characters from the earlier Penrod volume--Maurice Levy, Georgie Basset, Roddy Bitts, Herman and Verman, and Marjorie Jones--make their appearance in Penrod and Sam. This is a delightfully nostalgic look at Tarkington's turn-of-the-century Indiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Booth Tarkington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0253342287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253342287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.62h x 5.76w x 1.24d","brand":"Booth Tarkington","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483442753791,"sku":"9780253342287","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e35c2209-8c94-4aae-aa38-568c33ecb020.jpg?v=1778038771","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/penrod-and-sam-booth-tarkington-9780253342287","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
