{"product_id":"9789887963950","title":"The Hong Kong I Knew","description":"Returning to Hong Kong in 1947 after the Japanese occupation, seven-year-old Mark Isaac-Williams had the whole of Tsim Sha Tsui as his playground. Billeted with his family in the once-grand but now dilapidated Peninsula hotel, his life was replete with adventure  from the rooftop to the basement, he knew the hotel's every inch. Roller-skating and horseback riding in Kowloon's streets and paddling in the hotel's fountain were a child's dream after the privations of war. From rickshaws to firecrackers and ladies with bound feet to the ever-present rat problem and smelly beancurd vendors, the mystique of Hong Kong in the 1940s and 50s is brought colourfully to life by Mark's captivating and richly illustrated story.","brand":"Blacksmith Books (HK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65454871937373,"sku":null,"price":11.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9789887963950.jpg?v=1789162801","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9789887963950","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
