{"product_id":"9780751533439","title":"The Dream Kingdom : The Morland Dynasty, Book 26 by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles","description":"Edwardian England is a country at the peak of its power; a kingdom of peace, prosperity and progress. As Jessie and Violet enjoy their coming-out  in the glittering Season of 1908, their thoughts are of pleasure, dancing and falling in love.   For the Morlands things seem set fair: new business ventures expand their influence and wealth; there are weddings, babies in the nursery, careers for the boys now reaching manhood. It is an exciting age, with new technologies - motor cars, telephones, radio, aeroplanes - extending man's control over the natural world.   But under the  appearance of permanence, a different reality is stirring. Socialism, the suffrage movement, the constitutional crisis, all call forth ever more dissent and anger. Increasingly violent protests and strikes disturb the peace; war with Germany looms ever closer.   With the King's death, it begins to seem that the safe Edwardian world was only a dream, from which the wakening will be hard indeed.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296942600565,"sku":"9780751533439","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780751533439.jpg?v=1762776629","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780751533439","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
