{"product_id":"gritterman-book-orlando-weeks-9780141986623","title":"The Gritterman","description":"'Extraordinary and original' Raymond Briggs  'A tender fireside story about an ageing labourer ... witty, affectionate ... enchanting, in the vein of The Snowman' Evening Standard  'Sometimes it feels like I might be the only person awake in the whole country. People might find that a lonely thought. Not me...'   As the rest of the world sleeps, the Gritterman goes out to work. Through the wind and the snow. Through the blue-black hours when time slips away, he grits the paths and the pavements and the roads. For him, a life without gritting is no life at all...  A song for the unsung hero, this is a story about stoicism, dignity and a man leaving behind the work that he loves. It is accompanied by the author's own illustrations.  **Listen to or download The Gritterman's companion album featuring 10 new tracks by Orlando Weeks. Available now on all digital and streaming platforms.**","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49561969426705,"sku":"GOR009501490","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50875004485905,"sku":"GOR009670382","price":14.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51412954054929,"sku":"GOR014265532","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/014198662X.jpg?v=1750780217","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/gritterman-book-orlando-weeks-9780141986623","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
