{"product_id":"weird-wessex-andrew-may-9781909488359","title":"Weird Wessex: A Tourist Guide to 100 Strange and Unusual Sights","description":"At its height, the Saxon kingdom of Wessex sprawled across Southern England, encompassing Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset, Somerset and parts of Devon and Berkshire. Even before the Saxons arrived the area had a reputation as a weird place, with Stonehenge and its Druids, Glastonbury and the Holy Grail, the bizarre chalk figure of the Cerne Giant and the reputed location of King Arthur's Camelot. In more recent times the tradition of weirdness has continued, with flying saucers sighted over Warminster, intricate Crop Circles popping up around Alton Barnes and hordes of spaced-out hippies converging on the mystical hubs of Glastonbury and Totnes. This book is a tourist guide with a difference. It describes 100 of the weirdest sights in Wessex, ranging from world-famous places like Glastonbury and Stonehenge to hidden oddities that may even surprise the locals. Divided into ten thematic chapters, it is lavishly illustrated with over 200 full-colour photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew May,Paul Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909488356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909488359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortean Words\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"Andrew May","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453951062271,"sku":"9781909488359","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_172efecf-f563-42b3-a695-e0c4b4f3363b.jpg?v=1777303231","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weird-wessex-andrew-may-9781909488359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
