Following her own brilliant short story collection Multitudes, Lucy Caldwell guest edits the sixth volume of Faber's long running series of new Irish short stories, continuing the great work started by the late David Marcus and subsequent guest editors Kevin Barry, Deirdre Madden and Joseph O'Connor.

"Rope and Harness Work on the Farm" is a vintage book that deals with rope making and knot tying, focusing on those that are most suited for farm work. This simple guide is written with the novice in mind, and contains many clear and helpful diagrams together with step-by-step instructions. An invaluable reference book for modern farmers. Contents include: "Rope, Knots And Nets", "Construction And Use Of Rope", "Whipping And Making End Knots, End Splices", "Tying Knots And Hitches", "Projects In Rope Work", "Harness Repair", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on rope, knots, and nets.
