{"product_id":"9780752479279","title":"Essex Folk Tales","description":"The Essex coastline has endured invasion by plundering and bloodthirsty Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, and this mysterious landscape is still haunted by their presence. Their spirits, and countless others, have oft been reported – not least by smugglers determined to keep intruders away from their secret hideouts.   Even more dramatic stories of the supernatural lurk inland: accusations of witchcraft have been screamed around many picturesque market towns, dragons have terrorised the community, and a violent White Lady has struck at Hadleigh Castle. Indeed, it is the women of Essex who have stirred the imagination most – from brave Boudicca and beautiful Edith Swan-neck to the adulteress Kitty Canham. Amid the county’s infamous pirates, highwaymen and desperados, Essex can even boast a lady smuggler.","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107615195376,"sku":"9780752479279","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780752479279_p0.jpg?v=1763638966","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780752479279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
