{"product_id":"9781493139583","title":"Castles in the Air","description":"Castles in the Air is an attempt to open discussions on some often overlooked issues which affect education, particularly in rural and township government schools. In order to make it a truly South African drama, I have drawn from oral tradition by including songs and poems which play an integral part in traditional storytelling. There are many folksongs which were included in earlier versions, but I decided to remove them in the final version because I did not intend to write a musical. There are also some praise poems that I composed for the main character and his father. I studied oral tradition, and I am confident that the praise poems I composed have all the qualities of the real praise poems, and because I could not compose them in English, I, therefore, wrote them in isiZulu with translations in the glossary at the end.","brand":"Xlibris UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126930096368,"sku":"9781493139583","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781493139583_p0.jpg?v=1763663211","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781493139583","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
