{"product_id":"9781448207077","title":"Sir Pompey And Madame Juno","description":"Since his volume of short stories, \u003ci\u003eThe Bazaar\u003c\/i\u003e, Martin Armstrong has written two novels, \u003ci\u003eThe Goat and Compasses\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDesert\u003c\/i\u003e. This new volume of tales show, however, that he had no intention of abandoning the short story, and it displays, besides, a breadth of treatment and sureness of touch considerably in advance of the \u003ci\u003eBazaar\u003c\/i\u003e and the earlier \u003ci\u003ePuppet Show\u003c\/i\u003e. Like them, it contains a selection which ranges from fantastic farce, as in \u003ci\u003eAunt Hetty\u003c\/i\u003e, to grim realism, as in \u003ci\u003eThe Patrol\u003c\/i\u003e. Some novel readers say they do not like short stories. This is a book which will dispel their prejudice.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173178818800,"sku":"9781448207077","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448207077_p0.jpg?v=1763836966","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448207077","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
