{"product_id":"dombey-and-son","title":"Dombey and Son","description":"\u003cp\u003eby Charles Dickens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was Dickens' seventh novel, and like many of those before, it was first serialised and published in monthly parts - over two years (1846 to 1848). It tells the story of Paul Dombey, head of a shipping firm, who is desperate for a son and heir to his business. He is less than delighted when his new child is a daughter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you haven't read any Dickens, then, honestly, this is probably not the one to start with. But if you are already familiar with his writing style - then you will love this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a beautiful edition, one of the Fireside Dickens series. Hardback with green cover and beautiful detail on spin with gold lettering plus illustrations throughout. I am not sure of the date of publication of this edition. IT's in good overall condition with some foxing to edges of pages. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro Reads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53258152444204,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/2677\/3548\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_76e230bf-f4fb-4e5a-94cb-e0d7c0b475bf.jpg?v=1780384410","url":"https:\/\/www.retroreads.co.nz\/products\/dombey-and-son","provider":"Retro Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
