{"product_id":"2940013538511","title":"MY ROBIN","description":"MY ROBIN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere came to me among the letters I received last spring one which\u003cbr\u003etouched me very closely. It was a letter full of delightful things but\u003cbr\u003ethe delightful thing which so reached my soul was a question. The writer\u003cbr\u003ehad been reading \"The Secret Garden\" and her question was this: \"Did you\u003cbr\u003eown the original of the robin? He could not have been a mere creature of\u003cbr\u003efantasy. I feel sure you owned him.\" I was thrilled to the centre of my\u003cbr\u003ebeing. Here was some one who plainly had been intimate with robins--\u003cbr\u003eEnglish robins. I wrote and explained as far as one could in a letter\u003cbr\u003ewhat I am now going to relate in detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI did not own the robin--he owned me--or perhaps we owned each other.\u003cbr\u003eHe was an English robin and he was a PERSON--not a mere bird. An English\u003cbr\u003erobin differs greatly from the American one. He is much smaller and\u003cbr\u003equite differently shaped. His body is daintily round and plump, his legs\u003cbr\u003eare delicately slender. He is a graceful little patrician with an\u003cbr\u003eastonishing allurement of bearing. His eye is large and dark and dewy;\u003cbr\u003ehe wears a tight little red satin waistcoat on his full round breast and\u003cbr\u003eevery tilt of his head, every flirt of his wing is instinct with\u003cbr\u003edramatic significance. He is fascinatingly conceited--he burns with\u003cbr\u003ecuriosity--he is determined to engage in social relations at almost any\u003cbr\u003ecost and his raging jealousy of attention paid to less worthy objects\u003cbr\u003ethan himself drives him at times to efforts to charm and distract which\u003cbr\u003eare irresistible. An intimacy with a robin--an English robin--is a\u003cbr\u003eliberal education.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070099177712,"sku":"2940013538511","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013538511_p0.jpg?v=1763593575","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013538511","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
