'An orchard is not a field.  It's not a forest or a  copse.  It couldn't  occur naturally; it's definitely cultivated.  But  an orchard doesn't  override the natural order: it enhances it, dresses  it up. It  demonstrates that man and nature together can - just  occasionally -  create something more beautiful and (literally) more  fruitful than  either could alone. The vivid brightness of the laden  trees, studded  with jewels, stirs some deep race memory and makes the  heart leap.  Here  is bounty, and excitement.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697761615916,"sku":"9780141982281","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780141982281.jpg?v=1722602887","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780141982281","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
