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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50531313615179,"sku":"2171613","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/back-to-the-local","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
