I found this book at Christmas time and bought a few as gifts for a few friends. It was written in Devon by Una McGovern and has a great cover design by the increasingly popular artist Rob Ryan. This book is an introduction to a range of traditional crafts and activities. Almost 100 skills are described and illustrated, from trout-guddling to lacemaking, beekeeping to dry-stone walling. Whether wanting to learn a new craft, explore social history or reminisce about pastimes from a bygone age, readers of all ages will lose themselves in Lost Crafts. And with more of us choosing green and ethical lifestyles, there has never been a better time to rediscover these sustainable pursuits.
