{"product_id":"the-merry-men-and-other-robert-louis-stevenson-9781604508413","title":"The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables","description":"It was a beautiful morning in the late July when I set forth on foot for the last time for Aros. A boat had put me ashore the night before at Grisapol; I had such breakfast as the little inn afforded, and, leaving all my baggage till I had an occasion to come round for it by sea, struck right across the promontory with a cheerful heart.*****I was far from being a native of these parts, springing, as I did, from an unmixed lowland stock. But an uncle of mine, Gordon Darnaway, after a poor, rough youth, and some years at sea, had married a young wife in the islands; Mary Maclean she was called, the last of her family; and when she died in giving birth to a daughter, Aros, the sea-girt farm, had remained in his possession. It brought him in nothing but the means of life, as I was well aware; but he was a man whom ill-fortune had pursued; he feared, cumbered as he was with the young child, to make a fresh adventure upon life; and remained in Aros, biting his nails at destiny. Years passed over his head in that isolation, and brought neither help nor contentment. -excerpt from \"The Merry Men and other Tales and Fables\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Louis Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604508418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604508413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Serenity Publishers, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.37d","brand":"Robert Louis Stevenson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938657599743,"sku":"9781604508413","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ab83e852-0637-4ce5-ad3e-44417789110b.jpg?v=1681436986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-merry-men-and-other-robert-louis-stevenson-9781604508413","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
