{"product_id":"ireland-book-frank-delaney-9780316725989","title":"Ireland","description":"One evening in 1951, an itinerant storyteller arrives  unannounced and mysterious at a house in the Irish countryside. By the  November fireside he begins to tell the story of this extraordinary  land. One of his listeners, a nine-year-old boy, grows so entranced by  the storytelling that, when the old man leaves, he devotes his life to  finding him again.  It is a search that uncovers both passions and  mysteries, in his own life as well as the old man's, and their solving  become the thrilling climax to this tale. But the life of this boy is  more than just his story: it is also the telling of a people, the  narrative of a nation, the history of Ireland in all its drama,  intrigue and heroism.  'Ireland' travels through the centuries by way of story after story,  from the savage grip of the Ice Age to the green and troubled land of  tourist brochures and news headlines.  Along the way, we meet foolish  kings and innocent monks, god-heroes and great works of art, shrewd  Norman raiders and envoys from Rome, leaders, poets and lovers. Each  illuminates the magic of Ireland, the power of England and the eternal  connection to the land.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49540770496785,"sku":"GOR003840066","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50450802475281,"sku":"CIN0316725986A","price":13.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53074389270801,"sku":"GOR005900034","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0316725986.jpg?v=1751133648","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/ireland-book-frank-delaney-9780316725989","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
