"This book, while ranging widely in time and place, attempts to explore in depth medieval London society by taking as its central theme a single little-known industry. The study examines the considerations which influenced the wearing of furs, changes in fashion, and their impact on the craftsmen involved, the life and work of skinners drawn from all levels in London society, and the growth and activities of their fraternities".
