Together the pieces are an extraordinary addition to Fo's body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.28 x 5.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 13, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51759231795488,"sku":"9780802140692","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f4e72ba05e49898054fff1a352381447.webp?v=1780146268","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-peasants-bible-and-the-story-of-the-tiger-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
