Description

Book Synopsis
The Edwardian period is often seen as something of a gilded age, war would imminently remove hundreds of thousands of men from the labour force, and instigate progress to mechanize. This book tells the story of farming in Britain in the early years of the twentieth century - an age of horse, steam and intensive labour.
