{"product_id":"9781491759110","title":"The Invidia of Jack: Book Four of the Saga of Jack of Tabbyshire","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeep in the heart of Eastshire there is a valley. Whatever name might be given to it in the proper geographies, it is know to most, if not all, of the people of the Shire as “The Dark Valley.”\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThis Dark Valley is located in the most remote district of Eastshire. It is sparsely populated. Indeed the population consists of but a handful of families. These families have lived apart from the other people of Eastshire for uncounted generations.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe same isolation holds for the cats who live there. And it is the cats — and one special cat — of the Dark Valley that constitute the very heart of this story. This particular cat proves to be The Invidia of Jack of Tabbyshire.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eTo the ancients — the Greeks and Romans — the Invidia held a special place, somewhat akin to the better-known Nemesis. But, where the Nemesis is the agent of the gods in fighting Hubris and enforcing Justice, Invidia embodies the Envy and Jealousy that evidences itself in a “dog in the manger” or “what is yours should have been mine” attitude and life style.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eAnd Jack does have his Invidia.  In this tale he will encounter his Invidia. How will he counter his Invidia?  Can he?  Or, will he need some help — help from an unexpected source?  This tale recounts this final mission of our Lord Jack of Tabbyshire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144881225968,"sku":"9781491759110","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781491759110_p0.jpg?v=1763660093","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781491759110","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
