From an ancient baby feeder to a village stocks and whipping post, a battered old farmworker's boot to a dried cat, this book traces the history of rural life through the charm of everyday objects. These artefacts breathe life into a forgotten past and provide insight into beliefs, customs and culture now left behind - the aforementioned desiccated cat, for example, was stuffed up a chimney to ward off witches. This is a fascinating read and would make a great gift for anyone interested in the countryside and the quirkier aspects of its history.
