Craftland

Connect with Britain’s extraordinary heritage and be awakened to the beauty all around you with the Sunday Times bestselling, soul-stirring journey to Craftland that reveals a richer, more meaningful way of living - by award-winning historian and broadcaster James Fox. *SHORTLISTED FOR THE NERO NON-FICTION BOOK AWARD 2025* For generations, what we made with our hands shaped who we were. 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. ‘Inspiring’ Sunday Times ‘Wonderful’ Michael Morpurgo ‘Enchanting’ Amol Rajan ‘I read it in two gulps with delight’ Andrew Marr ‘This extraordinary book will leave you awestruck and inspired’ Xand van Tulleken ‘Beautiful, eye-opening and surprisingly moving – a treat to treasure’ Lucy Worsley ‘A joy’ Edmund de Waal © James Fox 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
