'a fabulously good read, informative and perfectly relevant..Buy it' -- The Observer (Monty Don) 12 November 2000
Throughout the course of his life, Cobbett (1763–1835) was constantly concerned with improving the living conditions of the labouring classes. Performing timelessly as the quintessential guide to self-sufficiency, Cottage Economy (1821) provided practical instructions to teach labourers the arts of keeping livestock, making bread, and brewing beer.
