{"product_id":"the-fables-of-john-gay-dandi-palmer-9781906442040","title":"The Fables of John Gay, Volume One","description":"Poems by the writer of The Beggar's Opera. John Gay had a humorously sardonic view of human nature. From three centuries ago, his Fables show that nothing changes. All life is here - charlatans, doxies, thugs, misers, the self-deluded, the gossips, the opportunist politicians ... and many animals who know better.Fully illustrated with line drawings by Dandi Palmer.From \"The Elephant and the Bookseller\" - When wrinkling with a sneer, his trunk,\"Friend,\" quoth the Elephant, \"you're drunk; E'en keep your money, and be wise: Leave man on man, to criticise; For that you ne'er can want a pen, Among the senseless sons of men. They unprovok'd, will court the fray: Envy's a sharper spur than pay. No author ever spared a brother; Wits are game-cocks, to one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dandi Palmer, John Gay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1906442045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906442040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dodo Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.28d","brand":"Dandi Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125527113983,"sku":"9781906442040","price":8.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6293c29-4117-4270-84ea-236f133545fd.jpg?v=1687443133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fables-of-john-gay-dandi-palmer-9781906442040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
