{"product_id":"walking-home-book-simon-armitage-9780571249886","title":"Walking Home","description":"In summer 2010 Simon Armitage decided to walk the Pennine Way. The  challenging 256-mile route is usually approached from south to north,  from Edale in the Peak District to Kirk Yetholm, the other side of the  Scottish border.  He resolved to tackle it the other way round: through  beautiful and bleak terrain, across lonely fells and into the howling  wind, he would be walking home, towards theYorkshire village where he  was born.  Travelling as a 'modern troubadour' without a penny in  his pocket, he stopped along the way to give poetry readings in village  halls, churches, pubs and living rooms. His audiences varied from the  passionate to the indifferent, and his readings were accompanied by the  clacking of pool balls, the drumming of rain and the bleating of sheep.   WALKING  HOME describes this extraordinary, yet ordinary, journey. It's a story  about Britain's remote and overlooked interior - the wildness of its  landscape and the generosity of the locals who sustained him on his  journey.  It's about facing emotional and physical challenges, and  sometimes overcoming them.  It's nature writing, but with people at its  heart. Contemplative, moving and droll, it is a unique narrative from  one of our most beloved writers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49511496909073,"sku":"GOR004124423","price":17.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50176023462161,"sku":"GOR004697444","price":17.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50183544275217,"sku":"GOR007410024","price":17.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0571249884.jpg?v=1751293961","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/walking-home-book-simon-armitage-9780571249886","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
