Cottagecore, sometimes known as farmcore or countrycore, is an aesthetic based on the romanticised, traditional idylls of life in the English countryside. It’s all about embracing a slower pace of life and living in harmony with nature - think time spent outdoors, gardening and growing your own food, cooking and baking, cross-stitch and embroidery, and all things vintage. We’ve curated a wonderful collection of cottagecore inspired vintage books perfect for anyone who wants to explore this aesthetic, from pastoral literature and poetry to non-fiction to inspire budding chefs, crafters and naturalists alike.
