{"product_id":"9781906011482-retail-the-fields-beneath","title":"The Fields Beneath","description":"A masterpiece of local history, by the Queen of the genre. Gillian Tindall has acquired a devoted readership through her lovingly researched works, such as the prize-winning  The House by the Thames  and  Celestine: Voices from a French Village . A brilliant evocation of the complex history of London, that city of villages, revealed through this particular study of Kentish Town. A journey through time: from a scattering of cottages along a pre-roman horse track, to a medieval parish and staging post for travellers, onwards into a prosperous Tudor village favoured by gentlemen for their country seats and an 18th century resort of pleasure gardens eventually transformed by a warren of railway lines into a thickly populated working-class district. Fragments of this past can still be found by the observant eye.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50705646747867,"sku":"9781906011482-RETAIL","price":29.71,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/79cd2713-b04a-47ba-8012-74411998d9a0.jpg?v=1792069443","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781906011482-retail-the-fields-beneath","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
