{"product_id":"9780241014806","title":"Edward VII: The Cosmopolitan King","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike his mother Queen Victoria, Edward VII defined an era. Both reflected the personalties of their central figures: hers grand, imperial and pretty stiff; his no less grand, but much more relaxed and enjoyable. This book conveys Edward's distinct personality and significant influences. To the despair of his parents, he rebelled as a young man, conducting many affairs and living a life of pleasure. But as king he made a distinct contribution to European diplomacy and - which is little known - to London, laying out the Mall and Admiralty Arch. Richard Davenport-Hines's book is as enjoyable as its subject and the age he made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012086481136,"sku":"9780241014806","price":14.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780241014806_p0.jpg?v=1763679374","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780241014806","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
