{"product_id":"9780712355148","title":"Land of Mist and Magic : The Myths and Legends that Shaped Britain by Philip Parker","description":"Britain is a land steeped in  legend. From the Scottish Islands to the valleys of Wales, or the coves and  inlets of Cornwall, scarcely a hillock, spring or churchyard is without its  own story of mythical creatures, magical adventures or glimpses into another  world.   Land of Mist and Magic collects and retells these  stories of ghosts, fairy changelings and demon dogs deeply embedded in the  landscape, together with those of more familiar heroes such as King Arthur,  Beowulf and Robin Hood, that lie at the very threshold of recorded history.   With introductory sections  setting out the historical background and origin of the myths, the book is  composed of beautiful retellings of the stories, illustrated from the British  Library's unparalleled collection of manuscripts and printed books. Visually  stunning and packed with stirring and surprising tales, Land of Mist and  Magic is a treasure-house of the stories that shaped our nation.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296668856693,"sku":"9780712355148","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780712355148","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
