H. J. Massingham (1888 1952) was renowned as a prolific writer on
matters relating to the British countryside. In this volume, which
was originally published in 1939, Massingham provides a rich and
detailed description of traditional agricultural husbandry and the
rural crafts inseparable from it. Written in consultation with
various practitioners of these crafts, the text reveals a subtle
interrelationship between man and nature based on centuries-old
processes. Rather than taking a nostalgic approach to these
processes, Massingham regards them as the sensible alternative to
the 'scientific agriculture' of mechanised farming. Numerous
illustrations are included alongside the descriptions of various
crafts. This is a fascinating volume that will be of value to
anyone with an interest in British agriculture, traditional crafts,
and the history of land use.
