{"product_id":"9781783198856","title":"The 14th Tale by Inua Ellams","description":"1988: at four-years-old, he short-circuited his home with a silver spoon and a Betamax video player.   1989: stopped a 700-strong student assembly with a tantrum.   1995: was chased through jungle growth by a crazed, frustrated French teacher called Monsieur Batcock...Misfit? Apparently - until a little family research reveals a pattern of mischief reaching as far back as a great grandfather, and so the story begins:I'm from a long line of trouble makers, of ash skinned Africans, born with clenched fists and a natural thirst for battle only quenched by breast milk. They'd suckle as if the white silk sliding between gums were liquid peace treaties from mums. The 14th Tale is a beautiful mellifluous narrative that tells the hilarious exploits of a natural born mischief, growing from the clay streets of Nigeria to rooftops in Dublin and finally to London by award-winning writer and performer Inua Ellams.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304751018357,"sku":"9781783198856","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781783198856.jpg?v=1762796430","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781783198856","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
