Cræft: An Inquiry into the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts
By exploring the history of handmade goods, archaeologist and medieval historian Alex Langlands recovers our lost sense of cræft, revealing the stories behind tools, local brews, and other objects produced by human hands.
With a deep understanding of the natural landscape and a passion for traditional crafts, Langlands invites us to revalue the value of authenticity in our lives, and to introduce more cræft into our daily lives.
