William Welby was undoubtedly the foremost English writer on the subject of nudism, with It’s Only Natural: The Philosophy of Nudism being his third volume on the topic. In this book, he presents nudism as a natural and healthy practice often unfairly judged by society. Illustrated with photographs by Stephen Glass, it highlights how shedding clothes in the right settings can lead to freedom, fun, and a more relaxed lifestyle, contributing to physical well-being, open-mindedness, and improved mental health.

About the Book
1930s Britain was a hotbed of utopian ideals in which William Welby, an advertising manager, was drawn to the burgeoning nudist movement.
Welby’s quest for understanding culminated in the landmark publication Naked and Unashamed, a groundbreaking exploration of nudism by a British author, the success of which encouraged him to write two more seminal books on the subject: The Naked Truth about Nudism and It’s Only Natural.
All three books offer a fascinating insight into aspects of British society and culture before the upheavals of World War II and the dramatic changes that followed.
This volume has a foreword by Mark Storey, author of Cinema au Naturel: A History of Nudist Film.
