{"product_id":"london-spirits-rob-burton-9781935807339","title":"London Spirits: Short Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has walked the streets of London knows how profoundly history haunts the city. From its monuments and memorials to its blue-circled plaques, London wears the past with style, decorum, and a\u003cbr\u003e certain spirit. \u003cem\u003eLondon Spirits\u003c\/em\u003e pays homage to this spirit using narrators (some dead, some alive; some historical, some fictional) who have a particularly interesting story to tell about their life and times in this great metropolis. There's Philip Clark, plumber to Westminster Abbey, who recounts a \"cock-eyed\" version of William and Mary's Coronation in 1689. There's Virginia Woolf who takes one last walk through Regent's Park in her waning days and revisits her past with powerful stream-of-consciousness memories. There's a contented suburban mother-of-two who is suddenly forced to confront her heady, \"romantic\" days as a London University student twenty years earlier. Other spirits include an Egyptian mummy in the British Museum; the Celtic warrior queen--Boadicea--at the millennium celebrations; a black British writer reflecting on his role as an artist in response to the racially-motivated murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993; and an eccentric stranger in a pub who shares similar traits as the painter, Joseph Turner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Burton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935807331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935807339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stansbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Rob Burton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442667106559,"sku":"9781935807339","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf71b648-2637-4607-89b3-ce8f0b39e676.jpg?v=1777198947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/london-spirits-rob-burton-9781935807339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
