Two somewhat similar yet different French exemplars are provided here, featuring the dastardly exploits of evil masterminds such as Fuh-Suh the Terrible (1934) and the Mysterious Fen-Chu. (1944). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 410\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075146006667,"sku":"9781649324399","price":58.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/wQwUXfpIKz9781649324399.webp?v=1779774622","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/french-tales-of-the-yellow-peril-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
