{"product_id":"2940011814358","title":"Lady Frederick","description":"Scanned, proofed and corrected from the original hardcover edition for enjoyable reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrphaned by the age of 10 in France, brought up by starchy strangers in Kent (where he acquired a stammer), the diminutive Maugham craved acceptance. He acquired it through his pen. Liza of Lambeth, his first novel, was sparked by his experience as a medical student at St Thomas’s hospital, but he rose to fame through his work for the stage. In 1907, after 17 rejections, Maugham’s play Lady Frederick was accepted by a London theatre. By the following year he had a record four plays running concurrently in the West End. His success was swift, remunerative, international.","brand":"OGB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152284631280,"sku":"2940011814358","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011814358_p0.jpg?v=1763550041","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011814358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
