{"product_id":"9780750957359","title":"The A-Z of Curious County Durham: Strange Stories of Mysteries, Crimes and Eccentrics","description":"This book draws upon the varied history and unique heritage of the County Palatine of Durham, an ancient land of saints and warlords. It is a catalogue of curious tales, odd anecdotes and quirky characters from County Durham’s past. Within its pages the reader will discover stories of hauntings, murders and mysterious deaths, while modern-day enigmas – such as the ancient structure that archaeologists remain at a loss to explain, or the lost treasure found at the bottom of the River Wear – are revisited.  Inspired in part by the chronicles and compendiums of County Durham’s nineteenth-century historians and antiquarians, this book is a miscellany – at times tragic, at times comic, but always entertaining. And for those for whom the collective subjects hold a perennial fascination, it is ideal for dipping into, perhaps to learn something new about wonderfully curious County Durham.","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114464035056,"sku":"9780750957359","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780750957359_p0.jpg?v=1763638159","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780750957359","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
