{"product_id":"9780993390104","title":"Wilful Misunderstandings","description":"\u003cp\u003eA unique concept frames Richard Foreman’s ‘Wilful Misunderstandings’, a collection of short stories from Lepus Books. In each of these thirty-four tales the author takes a word, phrase or saying, twisting it into a new meaning, and by extension a new reality. The stories that emerge extend across a diverse stylistic range through sci-fi, adventure, crime, romance, horror, folk tale and magic realism. The many worlds of ‘Wilful Misunderstandings’ can be rampantly surrealistic at times, not so very different from our own at others. A ‘parapet’ becomes a beast assigned as a familiar to would-be mystics. If you go out and ‘stretch your legs’ you come home taller. ‘Accolade’ is a drink that gives you a pat on the back. But in each tale, readers will meet engaging characters in intriguing situations - some humorous, some perilous, some with deep emotional resonance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lepus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029788803312,"sku":"9780993390104","price":12.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780993390104_p0.jpg?v=1763899915","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780993390104","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
