But once, craft – or more specifically, cræft – meant something very different. When it was first written down in Old English, over a thousand years ago, it had an almost indefinable sense of ‘knowledge’, ‘wisdom’ and ‘power’. To be cræfty was to be truly intelligent – but in a way that is almost inconceivable to us today.
Through a series of mini-histories, detailed craft analyses and personal anecdotes, archaeologist, historian and broadcaster Alexander Langlands goes in search of the lost knowledge of cræft.
Fusing stories of landscapes, personalities and mesmerising skill, with back-breaking hard work, this book will convince readers - for their health, wealth and well-being - to introduce more cræft into their lives.
Titre original : Cræft: How Traditional Crafts Are About More Than Just Making (2017)
