{"product_id":"almanacs-jen-hadfield-9781852246877","title":"Almanacs","description":"Almanacs: a mythic scrapbook, bag of cats, a one-man band...Jen Hadfield's Almanacs is concerned with lists, rules and archetypes and what they don't account for. It takes as its subjects the Tarot, the lore of Full Moons, weather myths and travellers' tales. The book's central sequence, Lorelei's Lore, is a road movie in poems, set in the north of Scotland: Ultima Thule, hijacked by elusive sirens and Harrier jets. There's the ruthless Lorelei, gorgeous Ghosty who's given up on everything except the Road, and Skerryman, patron saint of bad weather and absence-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder. It's obsessed with yearning, like the two seas separated by the tip of Shetland 'metres apart\/and desperate for each other.' Lorelei's Lore wonders 'what's beautiful?' (tarmac? sheep carcasses? sunburn?) and 'where's your native home?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jen Hadfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1852246871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852246877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloodaxe Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Jen Hadfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44245363327231,"sku":"9781852246877","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d89adb9-6160-435c-b3e1-e06c1040be4d.jpg?v=1693927615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/almanacs-jen-hadfield-9781852246877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
