{"product_id":"9781531271794","title":"A Journey through the Kingdom of Oude, Volumes I \u0026 II","description":"Major-general Sir   William Henry Sleeman (8 August 1788 – 10 February 1856) was a British soldier   and administrator in British India, best known for his work suppressing   Thuggee activity. Sleeman wrote about wild children who had been raised by   wolves with his notes on six cases. This was first published in the first   volume of his Journey through the kingdom of Oude in 1848-1850 (1858) and   reprinted in 1852 as An Account of Wolves Nurturing Children in Their Dens,   by an Indian Official and in The Zoologist (1888 12(135):87-98).This caught   the imagination of many and ultimately inspired Rudyard Kipling’s Mowgli   character. Sleeman is best known for his work suppressing the Thuggee secret   society. In 1835, he captured “Feringhea” (also called Syeed Amir   Ali, on whom the novel Confessions of a Thug is based) and got him to turn   King’s evidence. Sleeman wrote three books about the Thugs: Ramaseeana, or a   Vocabulary of the peculiar language used by Thugs; Report on the Depredations   Committed by the Thug Gangs of Upper and Central India; and The Thugs or   Phansigars of India.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dossier Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144687239408,"sku":"9781531271794","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781531271794_p0.jpg?v=1763740079","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781531271794","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
