{"product_id":"the-understory","title":"The Understory","description":"\u003cp\u003eLuang Paw Tien, the abbot of Praeknamdang Temple, is ninety-three years old and a treasure trove of stories. Most nights he entertains the children of his village with tales from his long and extraordinary life, of his childhood in a previous century, of his fifteen year pilgrimage to India and back, and of the plenitude and majesty of the jungle, in a time when it was rich with elephants, peacocks and turtles. But what the children want to hear most of all are tales of the tiger, a creature which has marked the abbots life more deeply and terribly than any other. From the mind of Saneh Sangsuk, one of the most respected and beloved of Thai authors, The Understory is a novel about storytelling, a changing world and the fearsome power of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peirene Press Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781908670816\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Peirene Press Limited","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47919023194289,"sku":"SB-1908670819-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1908670819.jpg?v=1789694707","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-understory","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
