{"product_id":"the-nettleham-gentlemens-club-9781666716405","title":"The Nettleham Gentlemen's Club","description":"This book introduces readers to The Nettleham Gentlemen's Club, a collection of the bizarre, the inane, and the borderline bonkers. We meet Humpty Dumpty's fat egg brother, Victor Drake, who inhales gin rickeys and cocktail sausages with the voracity of a starving vacuum cleaner. There's Clarence Constable, a gentleman with a pathological inability to negotiate a cheese counter, and Charles Bumbridge, an individual with a finely tuned dislike of eggs and who cannot properly deliver his own favourite joke. They are joined by Henry Calming, a dedicated late evening walker (precisely at 10:00 p.m.) who sits by the window, sips his drink, and plays cards. There are nine in all--a collection of odd and idiosyncratic individuals who belong to a club to which, perhaps, no one else wishes to be admitted. Is there some overarching theme to their saga? Perhaps the docile joys of old age and a sagacious acceptance of death\/the afterlife? Regardless, it never hurts to read a superbly crafted and odd story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Resource Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666716405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.12d","brand":"Charles William Johns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715447648437,"sku":"9781666716405","price":7.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-nettleham-gentlemens-club-9781666716405","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
