{"product_id":"puddnhead-wilson-2","title":"Pudd'nhead Wilson","description":"Switched at birth by a young slave woman attempting to protect her son from the horrors of slavery, a light-skinned infant changes places with the master's white son. This simple premise is the basis of \u003ci\u003ePudd'nhead Wilson,\u003c\/i\u003e a compelling drama that contains all the elements of a classic 19th-century mystery: reversed identities, a ghastly crime, an eccentric detective, and a tense courtroom scene.\u003cbr\u003e First published in 1894, Twain's novel bristles with suspense. David \"Pudd’nhead\" Wilson, a wise but unorthodox lawyer who collects fingerprints as a hobby, wins back the respect of his townspeople when he solves a local murder in which two foreigners are falsely accused. Witty and absorbing, this novel features a literary first — the use of fingerprinting to solve a crime. This gem was Twain's last novel about the antebellum South; and despite its frequent injections of humor, it offers a fierce condemnation of racial prejudice and a society that condoned slavery.","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48976086434047,"sku":"*R0155216*","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/4338403482361_b87779af-3657-46af-9e08-158ea3467e66.jpg?v=1786120947","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/puddnhead-wilson-2","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
