{"product_id":"folk-tales-of-old-europe-john-weeks-9781035818457","title":"Folk Tales of Old Europe","description":"Be transported from the peat bogs of Connemara to the limestone caves of Slovenia, and from the Norwegian coast to the Lazio region of Italy. Along the way meet a German beachcomber, a blacksmith from France, and a Polish priest. \u003cbr\u003eThese retellings of old tales include the familiar cast of giants, fairies, and ogres. Magic weaves around them in a talking wind, a flying toad, and a shape-shifting goat. \u003cbr\u003eBut like every retelling, it changes the tales. Each one is grounded in a real landscape, with the features and the creatures distinctive to it. And each one reveals something of the history and culture of the land of its setting. \u003cbr\u003eThe collection builds a celebration of Europe in the days before modernity banished its mystery and magic. \u003cbr\u003eFront cover: Loch an Eilan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Weeks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1035818450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035818457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"John Weeks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431655985407,"sku":"9781035818457","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87428c6e-67d1-41ce-b82b-50b50d5b04aa.jpg?v=1735141993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folk-tales-of-old-europe-john-weeks-9781035818457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
