The Book of Husbandry


Book Description

"The Book of Husbandry" by Anthony Fitzherbert was, at the time of its publication, a useful manual that taught readers the basics of farming and livestock rearing. Written in an older version of English dialect, the book today represents an interesting window into the past. It is an entertaining read that teaches how farming has changed over the years. However, though some of the information might be considered outdated, the book can continue to be a good tool to use if one is interested in starting their own farm.
