The Man Who Would Be King is the riveting story that inspired Kipling's classic tale and a John Huston movie
In the year 1838, a young adventurer, surrounded by his native troops and mounted on an elephant, raised the American flag on the summit of the Hindu Kush in the mountainous wilds of Afghanistan. He declared himself Prince of Ghor, Lord of the Hazarahs, spiritual and military heir to Alexander the Great. The true story of Josiah Harlan, a Pennsylvania Quaker and the first American ever to enter Afghanistan, has never been told before, yet the life and writings of this extraordinary man echo down the centuries, as America finds itself embroiled once more in the land he first explored and described 180 years ago. Soldier, spy, doctor, naturalist, traveler, and writer, Josiah Harlan wanted to be a king, with all the imperialist hubris of his times. In an extraordinary twenty-year journey around Central Asia, he was variously employed as surgeon to the Maharaja of Punjab, revolutionary agent for the exiled Afghan king, and then commander in chief of the Afghan armies. In 1838, he set off in the footsteps of Alexander the Great across the Hindu Kush and forged his own kingdom, only to be ejected from Afghanistan a few months later by the invading British. Using a trove of newly discovered documents and Harlan's own unpublished journals, Ben Macintyre's The Man Who Would Be King tells the astonishing true story of the man who would be the first and last American king.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect Calming Bed for Puppies
Color: Dark Gray, Size: Small - 23”L x 23”W x 8”Th, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Small - 23”L x 23”W x 8”Th
I bought this calming dog bed for my 10-week-old puppy and he absolutely LOVES it. The moment I put it in his pen he curled right up and fell asleep. The soft, fluffy material is incredibly cozy and supportive, and the raised edges make him feel safe and secure.
As a new puppy owner, I wanted something that would help him relax and settle down, and this bed works amazingly well. He sleeps so peacefully in it and clearly feels comfortable.
The quality is great, the cushion is thick, and it holds its shape nicely. If you have a puppy or a dog that likes to curl up, I highly recommend this bed. It truly is a calming bed!
Bonus: it also looks really nice in the crate.

Amazingly soft! My dog loves it!
Color: Dark Gray, Size: Medium - 30”L x 30”W x 8”Th
If you follow the instructions inside for fluffing the bed, it's AMAZING! I myself sat in it and it was so soft and very comfortable. (I need one for my bed!😆) If you also follow the sizing chart, it's pretty accurate. My dog loves it!

Great quality bed that my babies love
Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th
This dog bed is exactly what I was looking for! It's like a big pillow that my dogs love. My cat even loves the bed, he tries to steal it every chance he can lol. I was a little skeptical when the box arrived, but after opening and bluffing, it's good quality and super soft! I love that it can be thrown in the wash.

nice quality but small is too small for a 22 lb pup
Color: Beige, Size: Small - 23”L x 23”W x 8”Th
gave 4 stars due to size, quality seems good, its very soft and thick as well as decent looking for the money, however the small says it fits up to 25 lbs and my 22 lb Frenchton (boston/frenchie mix) barely fits in it. In their defense if I didnt just pay attention to the weight and looked at the measurements then I would have bought a medium so its my fault too, but my advice if you have a dog over 20 lbs I would definitely get a medium

Loved by both dogs!
Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th
My dogs love them! I wanted something light but comfortable for my dogs (who are extremely picky and don’t like to sit unless there is a cushion to sit on) as secondary beds to easily move around the house as needed. These are perfect and also super cute. I ordered one to test it and immediately ordered the second after the first one arrived. I have a 56 lb. And a 100 lb dog and they love to curl up inside and use the ‘pillow’ to support their head. I ordered the 36” but if your dog likes to sprawl out, I suggest getting the larger one for comparable sized dogs. The pictures are of my 56 lb. dog for reference.
