An excellent, beautifully written book, "On the Roof" by Patrick Galbraith, has received high praise from critics. The Sunday Times describes it as a "rich and hugely enjoyable celebration of the local, the vernacular, and the traditional," while the Daily Mail calls it a "beautifully written craftsman's memoir."
Thatching is one of the world's oldest crafts, and Tom Allen's memoir, "On the Roof," explores its history and future. He meets fellow thatchers from diverse backgrounds, including a Syrian refugee who found peace among the seagrass roofs of Denmark and a woman who mastered Japan's 5,000-year-old thatching tradition.
"On the Roof" is an eye-opening and beautifully told story that reveals a tradition hand-shaped over centuries. It explores how we live with the land and how we have chosen to treat it.
