{"product_id":"sangria-in-the-sangraal-rhys-hughes-9781908125446","title":"Sangria in the Sangraal: Tucked Away in Aragon","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn entire story-cycle in miniature. One thousand years of the remarkable magical history of a secret region of Spain where few people venture even now. Albarrac n is a rose-red town tucked away in the mountains of Lower Aragon. Once the seat of an independent \u003cem\u003etaifa\u003c\/em\u003e during the dominance of the Caliphate of Cordoba, it remained saturated with ancient mystery long after the separated kingdoms of the peninsular were forged through conquest into the single nation we know today. In Albarrac n still lurk the djinn of the wondrous past in their dusty bottles and the ghosts of heroes and villains locked in the crucibles of a rogue alchemist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs Alarcon once wrote, \"A happy time it was when our land still remained in peaceful possession of all the spider's webs, dust, woodworm, respect, faith, traditions, uses and abuses sanctified by the centuries \"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbove the roofs of the crumbling town serenely float the clouds; but these are not mindless puffs of vapour. On the contrary, they control the destinies of those who dwell below. In a modern world where the East is trying too hard to become the West, only Albarrac n has successfully reversed the trend; for in this place the West always was the East; and the true flavour of Oriental magic remains bright on the tips of the swords, in the pulse of the hearts and on the rims of the cups of the men and gods who enter therein.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new edition contains two stories not included in the original - Se or Chimera's Hysterical History and The Bone Throwers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhys Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908125446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908125446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eibonvale Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Rhys Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074092298495,"sku":"9781908125446","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c40f971f-a5dc-4fff-a06b-aa8a50aa7b37.jpg?v=1685451732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sangria-in-the-sangraal-rhys-hughes-9781908125446","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
