Edwardian Farm by Ruth Goodman

Follow-up to the hit BBC series Victorian Farm Victorian Farm sold over 40,000 copies (Nielsen Bookscan figures) Includes projects and recipes to try at home Following on from the hit BBC series Victorian Farm, this book accompanies a new 12-part BBC series. This time, Ruth Goodman, Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn take a leap forward in time to immerse themselves in an Edwardian community in the West Country. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Morwellham Quay was situated in a bustling and commercially prosperous region – a stunning rural landscape encompassing rolling farmland, wild moorland, tidal river, coast and forest, which supported a vibrant and diverse economy. Ruth, Peter and Alex will spend a year exploring all aspects of this working landscape - restoring boats, buildings and equipment, cultivating crops, fishing, rearing animals and rediscovering the lost heritage of this fascinating era as well as facing the challenges of increasingly commercial farming practices, fishing and community events.

Ruth Goodman specializes in social and domestic history and its interpretation to the public. She enjoys working with an exciting and stimulating range of museums, academic institutions, historic houses, theatre and other media. Historian Alex Langlands is an expert in nineteenth-century farming practice, and appeared on the BBC TV series Victorian Farm. He lives in Winchester. Peter Ginn spent time studying archaeology at University College London and has since been a digger, supervisor, teacher and a cook on archeological sites.
