{"product_id":"9781846685361","title":"All in a Don's Day by Professor Mary Beard","description":"Her central themes are the classics, universities and teaching - and  much else besides. In this second collection following on from the  success of It's a Don's Life, Beard ponders whether Gaddafi's  home is Roman or not, we share her 'terror of humiliation' as she enters  'hairdresser country' and follow her dilemma as she wanders through the  quandary of illegible handwriting on examination papers and 'longing  for the next dyslexic' - on whose paper the answers are typed, not  handwritten.   Praise for It's a Don's Life'Delightful...  it has the virtues of brevity, eclecticism and learning worn lightly...  if they'd had Mary Beard on their side back then, the Romans would  still have their empire' Daily Mail\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308257522037,"sku":"9781846685361","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781846685361.jpg?v=1762806903","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781846685361","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
