{"product_id":"2940015762402","title":"The Angel and the Author and Others: A Satire, Short Story Collection, Humor Classic By Jerome K. Jerome! AAA+++","description":"Excerpt:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had a vexing dream one night, not long ago: it was about a fortnight after Christmas. I dreamt I flew out of the window in my nightshirt. I went up and up. I was glad that I was going up. \"They have been noticing me,\" I thought to myself. \"If anything, I have been a bit too good. A little less virtue and I might have lived longer. But one cannot have everything.\" The world grew smaller and smaller. The last I saw of London was the long line of electric lamps bordering the Embankment; later nothing remained but a faint luminosity buried beneath darkness. It was at this point of my journey that I heard behind me the slow, throbbing sound of wings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI turned my head. It was the Recording Angel. He had a weary look; I judged him to be tired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes,\" he acknowledged, \"it is a trying period for me, your Christmas time.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"I am sure it must be,\" I returned; \"the wonder to me is how you get through it all. You see at Christmas time,\" I went on, \"all we men and women become generous, quite suddenly. It is really a delightful sensation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"You are to be envied,\" he agreed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It is the first Christmas number that starts me off,\" I told him; \"those beautiful pictures--the sweet child looking so pretty in her furs, giving Bovril with her own dear little hands to the shivering street arab; the good old red-faced squire shovelling out plum pudding to the crowd of grateful villagers. It makes me yearn to borrow a collecting box and go round doing good myself.","brand":"BDP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074219852016,"sku":"2940015762402","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015762402_p0.jpg?v=1763624098","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015762402","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
