{"product_id":"2940013669789","title":"In Brief Authority (Illustrated)","description":"•The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 15 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.\u003cbr\u003e•Thomas Anstey Guthrie was an English novelist and journalist, who wrote his comic novels under the pseudonym F. Anstey. The satirism in Anstey’s earlier novels is finely honed in In Brief Authority. The matron of the family to which the central characters belong is a hypocritical, and thoroughly stupid snob who accepts an heirloom from one of her servants as security for a loan. Her blinkered determination to import British social niceties into their barbaric realm nearly in disaster, and the revelation that the humble and compressionate servant is in fact the true monarch comes just in time to avert actual and moral chaos.","brand":"Five Star Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070172905712,"sku":"2940013669789","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013669789_p0.jpg?v=1763584252","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013669789","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
