{"product_id":"9781101585627","title":"The Not-So-Nude Ride of Lady Godiva: \u0026 Other Morsels of Misinformation from the History Books","description":"It is said that history is written by the winners. However, the “winners” aren’t always the best historians. Enter David Haviland, to set the record straight. In his quirky, inimitable style, Haviland separates fact from fiction regarding some of history’s most well-known people and events, such as:\u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLady      Godiva\u003c\/b\u003e: By far, history’s most famous nudist      equestrian. But how nude was she, really? And how did this same legend      give rise to the term “Peeping Tom”?\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe      Boston Tea      Party\u003c\/b\u003e: What was the cause of this famous “party” that wasn’t really a      party? (Hint: If you guessed a \u003ci\u003erise\u003c\/i\u003e      in taxes, you’re dead wrong!)\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWorld      War I\u003c\/b\u003e: How did a directionally      challenged chauffeur spark the Great War?\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQueen      Victoria\u003c\/b\u003e: Nowadays, the word “Victorian”      is synonymous with stuffy prudishness. But would a prude pose nude for a      provocative portrait, or become “close” with a young Indian servant?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Not-So-Nude Ride of Lady Godiva\u003c\/i\u003e, Haviland untangles fallacy, farce, and misrepresentation of historic proportions. The end result is a wholly fascinating, highly educational compendium of historical folly that will entertain readers young and old!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111906459888,"sku":"9781101585627","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101585627_p0.jpg?v=1763688657","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101585627","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
