{"product_id":"memoirs-of-a-fox-hunting-man-siegfried-sassoon-9780571337262","title":"Memoirs of a Fox-hunting Man","description":"I can hear the creak of the saddle and the clop and clink of hoofs as we cross the bridge over the brook by Dundell Farm; there is a light burning in the farmhouse window, and the evening star glitters above a broken drift of half-luminous cloud… It is with a sigh that I remember simple moments such as those, when I understood so little of the deepening sadness of life, and only the strangeness of the spring was knocking at my heart.\nIn the 1920s, a young man, grappling with the horrors of the war from which he had just returned, decided to write about a happier time. A time of cricket matches and fox-hunting, the busyness of village life and the shyness of youth.\nThat man was Siegfried Sassoon, and this is his book. Originally published anonymously, it went on to become Faber \u0026amp; Faber’s first bestseller. A classic depiction of pre-First World War Britain, Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man tells two mirrored stories, about a boy coming of age and a country losing its innocence.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51599668740384,"sku":"9780571337262","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780571337262.jpg?v=1780766523","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/memoirs-of-a-fox-hunting-man-siegfried-sassoon-9780571337262","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
