{"product_id":"2940013949102","title":"The Cloister and the Hearth: A Tale of the Middle Ages","description":"The Cloister and the Hearth: A Tale of the Middle Ages by Charles Reade, with Sixteen Coloured Illustrations by Evelyn Paul\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA SMALL portion of this tale appeared in Once a Week, July--September, 1859, under the title of “A Good Fight.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter writing it, I took wider views of the subject, and also felt uneasy at having deviated unnecessarily from the historical outline of a true story. These two sentiments have cost me more than a year’s very hard labour, which I venture to think has not been wasted. After this plain statement I trust all who comment on this work will see that, to describe it as a reprint, would be unfair to the public and to me. The English language is copious and, in any true man’s hands, quite able to convey the truth; namely, that one fifth of the present work is a reprint, and four fifths of it a new composition.","brand":"Denise Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147599429872,"sku":"2940013949102","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013949102","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
