{"product_id":"cherry-tree","title":"Cherry Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdrian Bell (1901-1980) was born in Lancashire and grew up in London but wished for a life in the open air. In 1920 he apprenticed himself to a West Suffolk farmer, an experience that would inspire him to farm on his own. His celebrated trilogy \u003ci\u003eCorduroy\u003c\/i\u003e (1930), \u003ci\u003eSilver Ley\u003c\/i\u003e (1931) and \u003ci\u003eThe Cherry Tree \u003c\/i\u003e(1932) grew out of that same raw material.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Cherry Tree\u003c\/i\u003e (1932) finds Bell back at the helm of the Silver Ley farm whose running he took over in the second panel of the trilogy. The farming business remains in a parlous state beset by high costs, and Bell is forced to scale back his ambitions for crop-growing while continuing to breed cattle and horses. But perhaps the greatest upheaval the book describes is the tale of how he 'wearied of solitude and married a wife.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224002056536,"sku":"9780571240821","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780571240821.jpg?v=1765942238","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cherry-tree","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
