The skills and knowledge passed down to us built our communities and defined our regions. And if you know where to look, they still do.In Craftland, James Fox seeks out Britain's last great craftspeople - those who are keeping our vanishing trades and traditions alive. Through them, we witness not only the living past but a deeper, more connected way of living today: one that is not yet lost and might still shape our future.This soul-stirring journey shows that Britain is still a craft land, if only we have eyes to see it.'Brimming with fresh news and seasoned with hope ...
