The character, Simon Suggs, with his motto, \"it is good to be shifty in a new country,\" fully incarnates a backwoods version of the national archetypes now know as the confidence man, the grafter, the professional flim-flam artist supremely skilled in the arts by which a man gets along in the world. This classic volume of good humor is set in the rough-and-tumble world of frontier life and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53115205320977,"sku":"CIN0817307060G","price":16.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780817307066.jpg?v=1770733276","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/adventures-of-captain-simon-suggs-book-johnson-jones-hooper-9780817307066","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
