{"product_id":"9781563978678","title":"The Royal Bee","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on a true story, The Royal Bee is an elegantly written tale that pays tribute to a young boy's courage and strength of character. Song-ho is a young Korean boy destined by birth to a life of poverty. Barred from going to school—only the sons of wealthy families could attend—he dreams of learning to read and write. Then one day he hears the sound of a school bell and follows it deep into the valley. There, the school master turns him away, but Song-ho's boldness and determination earn him a chance at gaining an education nevertheless. Dramatically illustrated with richly textured oil paintings, the story offers glimpses of daily life in Korea a century ago—for both the rich and the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highlights","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045671026928,"sku":"9781563978678","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781563978678_p0.jpg?v=1763787120","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781563978678","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
