Parrot, the son of an English printer, is a restless servant. When Olivier sets sail for the New World - ostensibly to study its prisons, but in reality to avoid another revolution - Parrot is sent with him, as spy, protector, foe and foil. They are an unlikely pair, but where better for unlikely things to flourish than in the glorious, brand-new democratic experiment, America? And who better than Carey to show what Americans do not always wish to see: that their earliest observers included some who foresaw disastrous consequences for that experiment, well before they became headlines around the world.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48185156927646,"sku":"UBD-9781760896485","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781760896485.jpg?v=1787485982","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781760896485","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
