{"product_id":"9780964518186","title":"Pussycat Blackie's Travels: There's No Place Like Home","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten by Josiah Royce—the famous American philosopher and professor at Harvard University—when he was just a boy, this delightful story, completely appropriate for both young children and general readers, shows his seriousness as a child, his early concern with social issues including the Civil War, and his precocious genius as a writer. Royce’s adventure follows the wanderings of his cat, Blackie, who hitches a ride on a wagon in California, rides a train, visits Cincinnati, Ohio, and finally arrives at Richmond, Virginia, where he sees Confederate troops gathering for a battle in the Civil War. Along the way, Blackie befriends another stray cat, escapes from dogs, and meets a talking monkey, among other adventures. The book is perfect for those who read Royce’s philosophy, but it can also serve as a great introduction to American history and historical scholarship for young readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gateways Books \u0026 Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016803860720,"sku":"9780964518186","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780964518186_p0.jpg?v=1763874898","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780964518186","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
