William Welby, a prominent English writer on nudism, authored three influential books, with The Naked Truth About Nudism being his second volume. This book delves into the expansion of the Nudist Movement in the 1930s, clarifying misconceptions and highlighting its health benefits. Aimed at both the curious and practicing nudists, it challenged misunderstandings about mixed-sex social nudity and showcased the movement’s growing acceptance. Illustrated with photographs by Stephen Glass, the book offers both a compelling narrative and a visual exploration of the Nudist lifestyle.

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 Brian Curragh, archivist at British Naturism.
