{"product_id":"the-pendragon-legend","title":"The Pendragon Legend","description":"At an end-of-the London season soiree, the young Hungarian scholar-dilettante Janos Batky is introduced to the Earl of Gwynedd, a reclusive eccentric who is the subject of strange rumours. Invited to the family seat, Pendragon Castle in North Wales, Batky receives a mysterious phone-call warning him not to go. Antal Szerb's first novel The Pendragon Legend (1934), set in Wales is a gently satirical blend of gothic and romantic genres, crossed with the murder mystery format to produce a fast-moving and often hilarious romp. But beneath the surface, the reader becomes aware of a steely intelligence probing moral, psychological and religious questions.","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40903083982933,"sku":"9781901285895N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/b7c1a1c4-ccef-41a6-a48e-f58b6a928e2d.jpg?v=1727256421","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/the-pendragon-legend","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
