{"product_id":"9783791388878","title":"Great Pubs of England : Thirty-three of England's Best Hostelries from the Home Counties to the North","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"There is nothing that has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern,\" wrote Samuel Johnson.    Three centuries on, the English pub remains the ultimate happy place for those seeking refuge, recreation, or refreshment. But pubs today constitute a broad church, with old-school saloons and ultimate locals joined by modern reimaginings of traditional hostelries and Michelin-starred gastro-temples.    This book brings together 33 of England's finest and most distinctive inns, from Yorkshire dining destinations to Cornish beer shrines. Acclaimed photographer Horst A Friedrichs and renowned writer Stuart Husband capture these places in all their idiosyncratic glory and infinite variety: the pub as artistic statement, social hub, foodie pilgrimage site, personal fiefdom of legendary landlords and landladies, or repository of history.    But all pubs share the same time-honoured purpose: to offer the warmest of welcomes, and to lift the spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459053510877,"sku":"9783791388878","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9783791388878.jpg?v=1719959077","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9783791388878","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
