{"product_id":"9781911648772","title":"Boy with a Black Rooster","description":"\u003cp\u003eCan an eleven-year-old boy succeed where others have failed? Can he recover a kidnapped child, disprove a false accusation of assault or win a sleep-deprivation competition that has driven others mad with tragic consequences? He can, if he is accompanied by a black rooster, his protector and friend. And if he is Martin, orphaned after a massacre, full of wisdom, courage and a pure heart. Too good for the selfish and idiotic villagers around him, his integrity entrances an itinerant painter with whom he departs on a quest. His heroic adventures through a morally abhorrent landscape, physically ravaged by war and famine, keep the reader cheering for him and his companion as this fairy tale for adults unfolds.   Set against a pseudo-medieval post-apocalyptic backdrop reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy, Angela Carter and Missouri Williams, this bestselling novel shines with the inner radiance of good deed in a naughty�world that will leave you haunted, horrified, and completely riveted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45477782946013,"sku":"9781911648772","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781911648772.jpg?v=1720431698","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781911648772","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
