{"product_id":"a-book-of-fields-stephen-billias-9781733575003","title":"A Book of Fields: Tales from the Pioneer Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree kids rob a diner in Greenfield where everyone knows them. A boy goes to the Big E in West Springfield and runs away with the circus. An animal control officer has to shoot a moose in Sheffield. A ghost still roams the flooded and sunken town of Enfield. A prep school teacher in Old Deerfield reenacts the raid of 1704 with his students, to disastrous results. These deceptively simple fictional stories share two commonalities--first, each one ends in the name of a town that ends in \"field\"--Ashfield, Northfield, Plainfield, and so forth. Second, most of the stories contain a crime, or something like one, but this is not a crime novel. It's an exploration of this magical landscape in the Pioneer Valley (or slightly beyond), populated not by magicians or wizards but by very real human beings; it's a portrait of a changing world and the men and women who inhabit it: hardy, independent, passionate, hardheaded, sometimes a little crazy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Billias\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1733575006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733575003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Odeon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Stephen Billias","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937914257663,"sku":"9781733575003","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f21515e6-b9d3-4b75-b581-9f16fcd94f68.jpg?v=1681432641","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-book-of-fields-stephen-billias-9781733575003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
