{"product_id":"9783952463826","title":"Swiss Movements special edition: An American Dream \/ The autobiography of Mr. Frick","description":"The till now unpublished autobiography of \"Mr. Frick,\" written by Werner Groebli in the 1980s, was left in the original state for the present book. Only the black and white pictures were carefully refreshed and some square brackets were added by me to supply more useful information, when needed. All underlined words are in German.\u003cbr\u003e\"Swiss Movements special edition\" contains lots of performance photos, pictures taken with celebrities, as well as personal portraits. Original newspaper clippings, honors, Peanuts Snoopy and cartoons complete the special edition.\u003cbr\u003eAfter Werner Groebli's retirement in 1980, it was always his greatest wish to get \"The autobiography of Mr. Frick\" published. Even his friend \"Sparky\" (Charles M. Schulz) was witness to this desire and sent him a letter in 1987 concerning the last Chapter 13, which he appreciated being part of.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore this book is in honor of Werner Groebli's 101st birthday, to keep his extraordinary career of more than forty years in the Ice Follies, as an outstandingly funny ice comedian in our lasting memory.\u003cbr\u003eOur little native Switzerland certainly was not ready for the huge arena of America, within which to display his remarkable talent, with which Mr. Frick was so evidently blessed.\u003cbr\u003eI am glad to finally see the publishing of this entertaining book, which will give a profound and visual overview of Mr. Frick's life as one of the leading ice comedians of the world.","brand":"Thomas Foeldi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050829693168,"sku":"9783952463826","price":24.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783952463826_p0.jpg?v=1763707099","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783952463826","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
