{"product_id":"the-foresters-alfred-tennyson-9781410206497","title":"The Foresters: Robin Hood and Maid Marian","description":"Alfred Tennyson wrote his verse play about the famous English outlaw, and his last book in his lifetime, The Foresters: Robin Hood and Maid Marian, at the request of the America theatre manager Augustin Daly in 1892, when he was 82 years old. Daly, who had met Arthur Sullivan in California, asked him to write the music and Sullivan composed the nine short numbers which comprise the score. Sullivan probably undertook the work out of regard for Tennyson rather than any real enthusiasm for the play itself and tried to persuade Tennyson to make changes. He objected strongly to the title of the play, finding it colourless, and urged Tennyson to change it to Maid Marian, but the elderly poet refused.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred Tennyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1410206491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781410206497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of the Pacific\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Alfred Tennyson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640604643583,"sku":"9781410206497","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a6575da-e45a-463c-9c57-bf481170813c.jpg?v=1740670063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-foresters-alfred-tennyson-9781410206497","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
