In a period of meaningless mass manufacturing, our growing appetite
for hand-made objects, artisan food, and craft beverages reveals
our deep cravings for tradition and quality. But there was a time
when craft meant something very different; the Old English word
craeft possessed an almost indefinable sense of knowledge, wisdom,
and power. In this fascinating book, historian and popular
broadcaster Alex Langlands goes in search of the mysterious lost
meaning of craeft. Through a vibrant series of mini-histories, told
with his trademark energy and charm, Langlands resurrects the
ancient craftspeople who fused exquisite skill with back-breaking
labour-and passionately defends the renewed importance of craeft
today.
