{"product_id":"9781855683389","title":"A Likely Tale, Lad: Laughs \u0026 larks growing up in the 1970s","description":"For a young lad like Mike Pannett, growing up in the North Yorkshire countryside in the late 1960s and early '70s was a dream come true. The sun always seemed to be shining, the summer holidays lasted forever, and when you were sent to buy a fish supper for the family there was change to be had from that crumpled pound note. They really were the good old days. \u003cbr\u003eGiven a fishing rod, a bottle of pop and a jam sandwich, a lad could wander as far as his bike would take him, and the countryside was one big adventure playground peopled by larger-than-life characters and endless opportunities for laughs and larks. \u003cbr\u003eLike many a boy, however, Mike learns things the hard way. He goes on a bike ride and lands up in A\u0026amp;E. He tries to be helpful around the home - and nearly burns the place down. And when he goes on a fishing trip it almost ends with a shipwreck.\u003cbr\u003eHe's a likely lad, is Mike, and these are his likely tales.","brand":"Country Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163571470576,"sku":"9781855683389","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781855683389_p0.jpg?v=1763598227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781855683389","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
