Although many of the traditional waggons and carts used throughout Britain in agriculture, rural work and transport in the years before mechanisation are preserved, there is comparatively little literature on the subject. With his expert knowledge of the topic and draughtsman's skill Arnold has gone a long way to correcting that situation. His book covers the construction, design and various components forming these by-gone vehicles, harness used by horses and oxen to haul the waggons is explained before the study moves on to describe in detailed text and drawings the surprising large variety of types used and the many regional variations. Each one is sketched with clarity and detail, most on a half-page, a few full-page and for some small vehicles, two per page.
