What is The stone book ; Granny Reardun ; the aimer gate ; Tom Fobble's day about?

172, 22 pages : 20 cm Four interconnected fables of a way of living in rural England that is now disappeared. Craftsmen pass on, or withhold, secrets of their relationship with the natural world, which gives them the material from which they create useful and beautiful things. Smiths and chandlers, steeplejacks and quarrymen, all live and work hand in hand with the seasons, the elements and the land. There is a mutual respect and a knowledge of the magical here that somehow, somewhere was lost to us. These fables beautifully recapture and restore it to us. And a very particular landscape, on the outskirts of industrial Manchester, is brought vividly to life Mary and her father live in a time when stone cutting was the main trade. One day she requests a book from her father and he shows her the true meaning of books - he builds her one out of stone. He doesn't believe in schooling or books - believing they are a waste of money as you don't get anything from them Originally published: London : William Collins, 1983 Includes "PS Section" by Travis Elborough Includes bibliographical references The stone book -- Granny Reardun -- The aimer gate -- Tom Fobble's day
