{"product_id":"9781912026401","title":"A World in a Grain of Sand","description":"Globetrotter, artist and linguist, living in the South of France in Provence, the author travelled widely during the sixties and seventies. In these diaries, recorded on a day to day basis, she shares with us her vivid impressions of the countries she visited. Impelled by a love for ancient history and a craving for exotic places, she chose to travel alone encountering a wealth of warm welcomes wherever she went. Written at a time when travel was more leisurely and before the digital age introduced global discovery, these writings speak of a way of life that in many countries has now virtually disappeared. With an insatiable curiosity in her small bag, keen observation and a daunting self-will, the author found that the far horizons yielded a treasure trove for her discerning pen.","brand":"Melrose Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163343765744,"sku":"9781912026401","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781912026401_p0.jpg?v=1763630917","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781912026401","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
