The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.","brand":"Transworld Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50123890262304,"sku":"9781804994252","price":10.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781804994252.jpg?v=1781279493","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/tales-of-the-city-armistead-maupin-9781804994252","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
