{"product_id":"stories-toto-told-me-frederick-rolfe-9781934555583","title":"Stories Toto Told Me","description":"Frederick Rolfe, who early in his career also published under the name \"Baron Corvo,\" became famous for his \u003ci\u003eHadrian the Seventh\u003c\/i\u003e (1904), in which an Englishman is unexpectedly elected Pope, and later became infamous for his writings on his love for Venetian boys. But it was with the \"Toto\" stories, first published in John Lane's fin de si cle literary journal \u003ci\u003eThe Yellow Book\u003c\/i\u003e, that Corvo achieved his first and most widespread authorial success. In these tales, an Italian peasant youth ingenuously recounts to his English master six poignant and often funny stories dealing with Heaven, saints, morality, and religion. First published in volume form in 1898 and long out of print, \u003ci\u003eStories Toto Told Me\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of the most remarkable achievements of one of the strangest and most talented of English writers. This edition includes a new introduction and extensive annotations by Edmund Miller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Rolfe, Baron Corvo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934555584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934555583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Valancourt Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Frederick Rolfe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937554465023,"sku":"9781934555583","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_eb97fae7-b983-4613-b4f0-cc2243abae48.jpg?v=1681430750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stories-toto-told-me-frederick-rolfe-9781934555583","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
