In the process he embarks on a journey - often a deeply personal one - through the history and spirit of the game.","brand":"Quercus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45035781062807,"sku":"9780857381484","price":1147.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780857381484.webp?v=1769212277","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-last-english-summer-9780857381484","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
