George Sturts frank and moving account of his trade as a wheelwright in the late nineteenth century offers a unique glimpse into the working lives of craftsmen in a world since banished by technology. The wheelwrights shop where he entered business had been operating for two centuries; this chronicle, first published in 1923, is a poignant record of that tradition, written as it was passing into history. E. P. Thompsons new foreword acclaims the significance of Sturts engaging narrative as a vital document in the history of labour at the turn of the century. a classic Mr Sturts masterpiece. A delightfully urbane and informing book, full of valuable material for the social historian and a sheer pleasure to read. New Statesman It shows in the author a combination of the gifts of a handicraftsman, the actual maker of things, with the powers of a writer, in a way not common in English literature.
