{"product_id":"anglo-saxon-riddles","title":"Anglo-Saxon Riddles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a book full of ingenious characters who speak their names in riddles. Here you will meet a one-eyed garlic seller, a bookworm, an iceberg, an oyster, the sun and moon and a host of others from the everyday life and imagination of the Anglo-Saxons. Their sense of the awesome power of creation goes hand in hand with a frank delight in obscenity, a fascination with disguise and with the mysterious processes by which the natural world is turned to human use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Porter's sparkling translations retain all the vigour and subtly of the original Old English poems, transporting us back over a thousand years to the roots of our language and literature. This edition contains all 95 Exeter Book riddles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Porter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44929046904993,"sku":"9781898281320","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/wmkded-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747592304","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/anglo-saxon-riddles","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
