{"product_id":"2940012266835","title":"The Widow's Tale","description":"The Widow's Tale is one of the first stories written by Jane Austen, and first appeared more than 100 years later as Love and Freindship(sic). Generally considered a juvenile story it was actually written by Jane Austen during her teenage years and is dated as being completed on June 13, 1790.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Widow's Tale is a parody of the romance novels of Miss Austen's day--a slyly humorous tale filled with outrageous coincidences and youthful follies, somewhat reluctantly related via a series of letters from the older-yet no wiser--widowed, Laura, to the daughter of her oldest friend. It is a charmingly ridiculous tale, and delivers great insight into the emerging wit and brilliant of a very young Jane Austen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis version includes an introduction by Teresa Thomas Bohannon author of the Regency Romance novel A Very Merry Chase, and is fully illustrated with 27 charmingly authentic, period drawings.","brand":"Teresa Bohannon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145318678768,"sku":"2940012266835","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012266835_p0.jpg?v=1763554218","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012266835","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
