It features a geriatric cowboy, a romantic octopus, a jellyfish with no brain, hats a plenty, a bloodthirsty megalomaniacal pirate, God Himself, Satan himself, a pretty horse, drunkards, a retired Hell's Angel, an unexploded bomb and a gang of rude folkies...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glyn Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1471736806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781471736803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.10d","brand":"Glyn Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458582130943,"sku":"9781471736803","price":8.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a348a845-6817-4c76-86c1-659b426c56d3.jpg?v=1777405318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-octopus-has-three-hearts-glyn-roberts-9781471736803","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
