{"product_id":"the-delectable-duchy-arthur-thomas-quiller-couch-9789354758126","title":"The Delectable Duchy","description":"A keenly witty window into a vanished England, The Delectable Duchy offers a crown of humour and social observation that sparkles as much today as it did at its birth. Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch crafts a tapestry of aristocratic society and rural Britain, balancing light, brisk narration with sharp-edged satire. The stories unfold with a poise and warmth that charm casual readers while rewarding classic-literature collectors and student scholars alike. This is not simply a collection; it is a gateway to a period detail prose that captures Edwardian sensibilities with affectionate irony, delivering enduring laughs and enduring insight into class, manners, and everyday life in a duchy-tinged world. Its literary significance rests in its playful yet precise portrait of social foibles, turning private foibles into universal comedy. The work stands as a notable marker in early twentieth century fiction, a bridge between Victorian roots and modern sensibilities, and a cherished example of British humour classics. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, The Delectable Duchy has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, this is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-perfect for readers who relish classic english fiction, the Edwardian era novel experience, and illustrated edition collection charm. A welcome addition for lovers of period detail prose, British humour, and duchy themed stories, alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9354758126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789354758126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alpha Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217659670783,"sku":"9789354758126","price":21.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4aa464b-560f-4138-ac79-367f9524a757.jpg?v=1771998612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-delectable-duchy-arthur-thomas-quiller-couch-9789354758126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
