{"product_id":"9781842171110","title":"Abbreviated Lays","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe double-dactyl, a poetic form never intended for 'the serious or high-minded', was invented in 1951. One of the form's rules is that the verse must contain a double-dactyl name, such as 'Higgledy-Piggledy . This collection, the result of an obsession of the authors, substitutes the doubl-dactyl rhyme with a Latin expression or tag, providing a witty poetic tour through Roman history. Beginning with Aeneas and ending with the last emperors, each brief poem is faced with an original drawing and accompanied by a short piece of text that sets the historical scene. Includes a glossary of Latin tags.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxbow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043153330416,"sku":"9781842171110","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781842171110_p0.jpg?v=1763741618","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781842171110","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
