"Describes the ideals that inspired an earlier generation to leave the cities for the Cotswolds to practice cratts ranging from book-binding and metalwork to furniture making. The many illustrations show that the best works of the Arts and Crafts movement, characterized as they are by a belief in the dignity of labour and a respect for materials, have an integrity that gives them a continuing validity and modernity in our own machine age."
