{"product_id":"scattered-leaves-jon-stamford-9780244386023","title":"Scattered Leaves","description":"Some things in life are greater than the sum of their parts. At first inspection, Scattered Leaves is a collection of short essays on a range of subjects, written over the last decade. But, dig deeper and find that it is also a pricking of the conscience, an invocation of memories and cultural points of reference from 60 years of life and experience. Above all they are Jon Stamford's unique and iconoclastic take on life, the universe and - who knows - maybe everything. All of life is here - comments on the arts, short stories, travel writing, and more - all couched against a background of chaotic family life with teenage children, dogs, guinea pigs and chickens. As the name implies, this book is not a sequential narrative, more something to dip into. Essays are numerous and short. Bite-size if you will. Like a box of chocolates. Dip in. Enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Stamford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244386021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244386023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.97d","brand":"Jon Stamford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435314819327,"sku":"9780244386023","price":26.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a30c98e6-55a1-4334-84fd-10a7d0bb9646.jpg?v=1777149587","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scattered-leaves-jon-stamford-9780244386023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
