Ruth Gendler’s beloved \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Qualities\u003c\/i\u003e. Like the original, it brings human attributes to life as vivid characters, this time pairing Gendler’s lyrical writing with her original monotypes.

No familiarity with \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Qualities\u003c\/i\u003e is necessary to enter the town.","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":60378372768030,"sku":"9781685550752","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.simonandschuster.com\/products\/9781685550752","provider":"Simon and Schuster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
