It’s \u0026lt;b\u0026gt;a guide to the real thing: unpredictable, humbling and utterly alive\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507670163829,"sku":"9781789299496","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789299496.jpg?v=1787042788","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/electric-ride","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
