{"product_id":"9789635271603","title":"Hop-Frog","description":"\"Hop-Frog\" (originally \"Hop-Frog; Or, the Eight Chained Ourangoutangs\") is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1849. The title character, a dwarf taken from his homeland, becomes the jester of a king particularly fond of practical jokes. Taking revenge on the king and his cabinet for striking his friend and fellow dwarf Trippetta, he dresses them as orangutans for a masquerade. In front of the king's guests, Hop-Frog murders them all by setting their costumes on fire before escaping with Trippetta.Critical analysis has suggested that Poe wrote the story as a form of literary revenge against a woman named Elizabeth F. Ellet and her circle.","brand":"Booklassic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184935321840,"sku":"9789635271603","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789635271603_p0.jpg?v=1763684884","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789635271603","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
