The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift: Intellectual Barbarians by Annebella Pollen

First published in 2015, The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift: Intellectual Barbarians was recently republished by Donlon Books. The book tells the story of the Kibbo Kift, a radical English camping and hiking movement (1920–1932) created as a pacifist alternative to scouting. Mixing myth, modernism, and a visionary philosophy, the group produced striking art and design, from banners and totems to ceremonial dress and protest graphics, while attracting support from figures like D.H. Lawrence and H.G. Wells. Featuring over 100 rarely seen objects and photographs, this richly illustrated volume uncovers a fascinating, overlooked movement whose ideas still resonate today.
