{"product_id":"the-card-a-story-of-arnold-bennett-9781537000015","title":"The Card, A Story Of Adventure In The Five Towns","description":"The Card is a short comic novel written by Arnold Bennett in 1911. Like much of Bennett's best work, it is set in the Potteries District of Staffordshire. It chronicles the rise of Edward Henry (\"Denry\") Machin from washerwoman's son to Mayor of Bursley (a fictitious town based on Burslem). This is accomplished through luck, initiative and a fair bit of chutzpah (in slang a card is a 'character', an 'original'; a clever, audacious, person).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arnold Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1537000012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781537000015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Arnold Bennett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800372359423,"sku":"9781537000015","price":15.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-card-a-story-of-arnold-bennett-9781537000015","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
