Her traveling companions are a zealous Puritan woman and child who have been displaced by civil war--the bloody seventeenth-century strife between Royalists and Roundheads. Judith is also leaving her marriage, which has foundered since the wrenching loss of two adult sons to the plague.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sequel to the author's My Father Had a Daughter, a tale of Judith in her youth, The Owl Was a Baker's Daughter revisits this character for the ages--Shakespeare's sharp-tongued, witty youngest child, no less feisty in her maturity. Four-hundred years after Judith's death, Grace Tiffany brings her back onto center stage. Judith's latest tale offers profound insights--into friendship, motherhood, marriage, religious extremism, and war--which remain resoundingly true today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 8.45 x 5.85 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 04, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53475924574515,"sku":"9780063380530","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/the-owl-was-a-bakers-daughter-the-continuing-adventures-of-judith-shakespeare-hardcover","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
