Description
On MurderThe titular essay in this volume of work by Thomas De Quincey centers on the notorious career of the murderer John Williams, who in 1811 brutally killed seven people in London's East End. De Quincey's response to Williams's attacks turns morality on its head, celebrating and coolly dissecting the art of murder and its perfections. This volume also contains De Quincey's best known piece of literary criticism, "On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth,"
The titular essay in this volume of work by Thomas De Quincey centers on the notorious career of the murderer John Williams, who in 1811 brutally killed seven people in London's East End. De Quincey's response to Williams's attacks turns morality on its head, celebrating and coolly dissecting the art of murder and its perfections. This volume also contains De Quincey's best-known piece of literary criticism, "On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth," and his finest tale of terror, "The Avenger," a disturbing exploration of violence, vigilantism, and religious persecution. Ranging from gruesomely vivid reportage and brilliantly funny satiric high jinks to penetrating literary and aesthetic criticism, these essays had a remarkable impact on crime, terror, and detective fiction. They are also a key contribution to the satiric tradition, as well as on the rise of nineteenth-century decadence. The bibliography is the most extensive available on critical responses to De Quincey's essays on murder and violence, and the essays included here have never been annotated so thoroughly before. They reveal--often for the first time--De Quincey's debts, remarkable erudition, and encyclopedic knowledge of contemporary crime.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

An Instant Hit and Everyone's New Favorite
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
An instant favorite! It took quite a while for my dog to break the squeaker, too. I love that it uses a water bottle for the crinkle sound, and I'm kind of glad the squeaker finally bit the dust. That works out well for us. It's tough enough that it's not ripped yet. Our dog plays with this toy every day.
No fluff to pull out was definitely a plus for me. It's a great toy for the price, and I think small and larger dogs would also enjoy it. Johan is 7 months old, weighs about 40 pounds, and always chooses a favorite toy. This one replaced a worn out toy frog that was smaller, but still treasured. I was so glad that he loves this one just as much.
It's a little bit longer than a regular-sized water bottle and has dangly legs. I think you could also put plastic that crinkles inside it, and they would love that too. It has a velcro closure to keep whatever you put in there inside, and he hasn't figured out how to open it so far.
Update: We just bought a second one of these because he enjoyed the first one to its conclusion. It lasted longer than most toys (about 4 months with HARD use by a giant puppy), and it is his most favorite soft toy. The original didn't rip or tear, but the velcro got worn out when he figured out how to open it. I probably could have fixed it easily, but since Johan is the goodest boy, I got him a new one.

Best Toy Ever! 🐾
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
Hey, it’s me, your dog! 🐶 This Frog toy is AMAZING! No stuffing to pull out (finally), so I can chew and squeak it all I want without making a mess. The squeaker is SO satisfying, I carry it everywhere. It’s the perfect size for playing tug-of-war and fetch with my human. I’ve had it for a while now, and it’s still holding up strong—no rips or tears yet! If you love squeaky toys and want something that lasts, this frog is paws-itively the best! 🐸

Dog toy

My dogs have destroyed this toy. Squeaker gone in a day and is ripped open. It was a great little toy just not for use with heavy chewers

Easy to insert bottles into and easy to toss. My dog loves that it both squeaks and crunches. One of his new favorite toys.

Not durable for a large breed
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG, Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
I received this toy about 2hrs ago. My dog tore a hole in it already. Not made for Rottweiler/American Bulldog breed, apparently. 🙂
Love that there isn't stuffing though, at least she's not making a mess, lol!
