Back to the Local is a fascinating nostalgic ramble around the post-war pubs of London: we are introduced to The Regulars and Barmaids Old and New; we venture into the familiar surroundings of the Saloon Lounge, Saloon Bar and Public Bar and squeeze into possibly the lesser known Jug-And-Bottle Bar, where customers queue to buy ale to drink elsewhere; we learn about 'lost' drinks such as 'The Mother-in-Law' or 'The Snort'. A truly memorable pub crawl, illustrated by the wonderfully atmospheric drawings of Edward Ardizzone.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53988907286866,"sku":"9780571386987","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_b3e2211b-f437-4304-b9b3-a5f0b90bf80c.jpg?v=1783934592","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/back-to-the-local","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
