As Jessie and Violet enjoy their coming-out in the glittering Season of 1908, their thoughts are of pleasure, dancing and falling in love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the Morlands things seem set fair: new business ventures expand their influence and wealth; there are weddings, babies in the nursery, careers for the boys now reaching manhood. It is an exciting age, with new technologies - motor cars, telephones, radio, aeroplanes - extending man's control over the natural world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut under the appearance of permanence, a different reality is stirring. Socialism, the suffrage movement, the constitutional crisis, all call forth ever more dissent and anger. Increasingly violent protests and strikes disturb the peace; war with Germany looms ever closer. With the King's death, it begins to seem that the safe Edwardian world was only a dream, from which the wakening will be hard indeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Harrod-Eagles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0751533432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780751533439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.98h x 4.27w x 1.59d","brand":"Cynthia Harrod-Eagles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075402133759,"sku":"9780751533439","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_198c9bfe-9c60-4769-b0d7-d7621d45c98d.jpg?v=1685459206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dream-kingdom-cynthia-harrod-eagles-9780751533439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
