{"product_id":"9781802068924","title":"Highway Cottage","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Highway Cottage' weaves the story of a strange homecoming. A young poet travels to the heart of the English countryside - back to the West Country village where he grew up. Descending into the valley where the small riverside community still resides, he finds himself within a dreamlike landscape, peopled by uncanny figures: drone operators and hunters; half-familiar friends; local historians, and braying councillors trying desperately to oust a community of Travellers. Hovering between reality and folklore, the locale is at once idyllic and in decay; the visitor is both unsettled and soothed by it. Slowly, we start to sense that both villagers and poet might be under threat - not just from the future, but from the past. With great clarity and affection, but not a trace of sentimentality, Webb conjures a precise vision of a rural community, surfacing the deep and urgent tensions that run through Britain today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Ralf \/ Webb","offer_id":55645311959413,"sku":"9781802068924","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781802068924_1d936262-5d29-4d64-80e7-c68ddb84d171.jpg?v=1752925320","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9781802068924","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
