It was published in book form in 1851, and became an early Victorian classic which sold out three editions. In the \"Advertisement to the First Edition,\" which prefaces it, it is called a fairy tale, one, it might be added, that illustrates the triumph of love, kindness, and goodness over evil; however, it could also be characterized as a fable, a fabricated origin myth and a parable. It was illustrated with 22 illustrations by Richard Doyle (1824-83).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Ruskin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1533670862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781533670861\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 06\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.09d","brand":"John Ruskin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936903921919,"sku":"9781533670861","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cc8c7a6f-cb36-436c-ac92-cd521116b122.jpg?v=1681427252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-king-of-the-golden-john-ruskin-9781533670861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
