Excerpt: ...any o' their houses was built for 'em. All squattin' round a fire, like this. Frost, or snow on the ground--'twas all the same to them. And after he's house was built, old Phil, he wouldn't have no fire in it, not to dry it nor nothing. Would have it out by the tent, same as before.... I helped build that house. An' many a time I've come across 'em, an' dropped in an' had a dish o' tea round the fire wi' 'em, at ha'-past-five in the mornin' when I was gwine along to work." "Was that," I asked, " the house that Jenkinson built for them, and that I heard about t'other day? When Gent got into it, he told Jenkinson that if ever he built him another house, he hoped he would put the channelling inside; for there was more wet came inside than there did out." "Yes; 'twas so damp," assented Bettesworth solemnly. The story was obviously familiar to him. "No; that house was for another of 'em, --Roger, ol' Phil's brother. Jenki'son built 'n a tank afterwards. They'd lived there several years without water; an' at last Roger he said he'd dig th' tank out, if Jenki'son'd line it with bricks an' cement. So old Bob (Jenkinson) he went an' built it up inside an' doomed it over to a little hole at top; an' when he'd done, Roger he calls he's wife--' Pay Mister Jenki'son, ' he says, 'for buildin' this tank.' "' Which tank?' she says. "' This tank. He's finished, ' Roger says. "' Call that a tank?' she says. "' Yes, missus, ' says Jenki'son, 'that's what I calls a tank?' "'Well, I calls it a bloomin' sink-hole, ' she says. "She'd bin expectin' a big place--as big as the house, you know. Oh, he had to talk to her smartish afore she'd pay. An' at last she put in her hand an' drew it out of her...

Book excerpt: In 1901, George Sturt (using the pen-name George Bourne) published this biography of his gardener, Frederick Bettesworth. This unusual ethnographic account, written in a modified dialect, uniquely captures rural life in late nineteenth-century England. The book bridges the class divide between 'master and man' as Sturt, through many interviews, gets to know his down-to-earth day labourer, and comes to understand peasant life and poverty as seen through the eyes of Bettesworth. In the introduction, Sturt precisely lays out his interviewing methodology, which allows the reader to understand both men as the conversations, and the book, progress. Through 35 chapters, he opens a window on the social relationships between the classes amid descriptions of the work, childhood, education, and family life of the region's agricultural workers. Sturt is humbled and enriched by his friendship with Bettesworth, calling him the 'voice of Britain', a man 'rugged, unresting, irresistible'.

Book excerpt: The Wheelwright's Shop by George Sturt offers an intimate and vivid portrayal of traditional craftsmanship at the turn of the 20th century. Through Sturt's meticulous observations and engaging narrative, readers gain an unparalleled glimpse into the life and labor of a wheelwright in a small English village. Originally published in 1923, this classic work documents the intricacies of wheel-making and the profound changes brought about by industrialisation. Sturt's reflective prose not only captures the technical aspects of the craft but also relates the social and economic implications of a rapidly evolving world. A. F. Collins, with great care and expertise, has selected and edited chapters from Sturt's original work to present a comprehensive yet accessible version for modern readers. Collins' edition retains the authenticity and richness of Sturt's descriptions. The chapters of this book include: The Wheelwright's Shop Timber: Buying Timber: Carting and Converting The Sawyers Timber: Seasoning "Wheel-Stuff" Hand-Work "Bottom-Timbers" Wagons Learning the Trade Wheels: Spokes and Felloes The Smith: "Getting Ready" And much more... Whether you are a historian, a craftsman, or simply someone who appreciates the art of traditional trades, The Wheelwright's Shop offers a timeless reflection on the value of skilled labor and the enduring legacy of traditional crafts.
