{"product_id":"9781514446829","title":"Napoleons History of Australia","description":"A foray into historical faction starting with a real-life English emigrant, Napoleon Gilbert, ancestor of Ms Gilbert, born in  1799 who immigrated with his family to Tasmania in the late  1820’s.This family saga spans five generations, rags to riches and back again, farming and convict labour in Tasmania, butchering meat for Victorian goldminers, Darling Downs squattocracy, Ballarat and Melbourne Architect, genteel  Melbourne society, the 1890 crash, Prussian farmers in  Ipswich, the First World War, death and poverty in  Port Pirie and scandalous unwed motherhood in Adelaide. The connecting thread is the fact that all the  Gilbert sons had Napoleon as their middle name, ending  the author’s father, Melbourne Napoleon Gilbert. It is an  entertaining and novel way of writing history, proving that fact is stranger than fiction. ***","brand":"Xlibris AU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144103641328,"sku":"9781514446829","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781514446829_p0.jpg?v=1763726348","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781514446829","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
