{"product_id":"second-book-of-tales-1","title":"Second book of tales","description":"Eugene Field (1850-1895) wrote a daily newspaper column in Chicago and became, almost by accident, one of the most widely read American writers of his century — the man behind Little Boy Blue and Wynken, Blynken and Nod, verses that a great many people could recite without knowing whose they were.The tales here are the other Field: dialect sketches, ghost stories, bookish jokes, a werewolf, and the sentimental pieces his readers demanded and he supplied with a certain visible irony. He died at forty-five, and his widow gathered this second volume the following year. Read now, it is a good deal stranger and funnier than his reputation as a children's poet suggests.This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1896 New York edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.","brand":"EDITIONS RECREASOFT","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67486388027696,"sku":"9782387812117","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/second-book-of-tales-1","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
