About this title

Synopsis

This delightful pictorial history of Welsh Rural Life provides not only a study of the countryside and its environment, but also a summary of the different aspects of work and leisure of country people. It deals with the farmer's calendar of work throughout the year ranging from the cultivation of the soil and harvesting to the preparation of winter fodder for cattle. Various other crafts associated with the countryside are included such as the woodland industries, rope making, leatherwork, thatching, black-smithing and wheelwrighting, clog-making and woodturnery. In addition illustrations of the fishing and cockle-gathering industries are included together with traditional rural domestic tasks such as candle-making, preparation of food, milking and farmhouse beer-making.
