{"product_id":"george-iv-king-in-waiting","title":"George Iv King In Waiting","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge IV spent most of his life waiting to become king: as a  pleasure-loving and rebellious Prince of Wales during the sixty-year  reign of his father, George III, and for ten years as Prince Regent,  when his father went mad. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''The days are very long when you have  nothing to do'' he once wrote plaintively, but he did his best to fill  them with pleasure - women, art, food, wine, fashion, architecture. He  presided over the creation of the Regency style, which came to epitomise  the era, and he was, with Charles I, the most artistically literate of  all our kings. Yet despite his life of luxury and indulgence, George  died alone and unmourned. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStella Tillyard has not written a  judgemental book, but a very human and enjoyable one, about this most  colourful of all British kings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319554646398,"sku":"NW9780141978857","price":11.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780141978857.jpg?v=1778698285","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/george-iv-king-in-waiting","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
