    fascinating history of
    British craftsmanship in
    a series of interviews
    with leading crafters at

    in the hands of just a
    few individuals whose
    rare skills date back as
    far as 1, 000 years. They

    the Mastercrafts
    series.The Book of
    Forgotten Crafts records
    and celebrates the best
    of these ancient crafts,
    before they disappear
    and, more importantly,
    to record the lives of
    the crafters
    themselves.About the
    AuthorTom Quinn is a
    writer, editor and a
    social historian. He is
    the author of
    Mastercrafts, as well as
    the bestselling Tales of
