A truly memorable pub crawl, illustrated by the wonderfully atmospheric drawings of Edward Ardizzone.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59659366105420,"sku":"9780571386987","price":76.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/4163\/2076\/files\/9780571386987-9636f91503afc882_front.webp?v=1793376730","url":"https:\/\/foxandfable.com\/en-dk\/products\/9780571386987","provider":"Fox \u0026 Fable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
