{"product_id":"9781456860479","title":"Home and Away: A Personal Anthology","description":"Although I have penned the odd verse since I was a youngster, I started writing regularly when I married. For the past forty-three years, I have composed for my wife Marion a poem for our anniversary, her birthday on the following day and for Valentines Day. She calls me a dreamy romantic, and I probably am, but I don’t apologise for it. The tradition has progressed so that I usually provide a piece for birthdays of my family, occasionally for friends, and also for special occasions. These have been my main inspiration. Two other stimuli act as my muse: a love of travel and a love of Nature. Professionally and on vacation, I have travelled widely, and on all modes of transport. I am not particularly knowledgeable about Nature, but I love observing the cycle of the seasons and their effect on birds and small animals in the area where I live.","brand":"Xlibris UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129028067568,"sku":"9781456860479","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781456860479_p0.jpg?v=1763864672","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781456860479","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
