«Tools and Traditions» is a collection of studies in European ethnology presented to Alexander Fenton, edited by Hugh Cheape (hardcover, 272 pages).
The collected papers address European ethnology through material culture and customs, with cases ranging from the eating habits of Scots and Hungarians to the traditions of Gaelic communities in Ireland and Scotland. Everyday objects and traditional tools are interpreted as testimonies to the continent's social life.
Published in 1993 by National Museums of Scotland (Edinburgh), with texts in English and bibliographies.
Work of interest for scholars of European ethnology, material culture and the social history of the continent.
