ISBN: 0-671-22191-4 Language: English Description: Since the renaissance of the art of building and flying kites, which occurred in the early 1960s after six decades of seeming lack of interest on the part of adults, several books on kites and kite flying have been written.
Although most of such publications have been excellent and welcomed by today's kite-flying fraternity, virtually all have covered only that period of kite history that began at an undetermined time in antiquity and barely extended into the beginning of the twentieth century.
Will Yolen has written a book that credits those good men and women who "pioneered" kiting throughout the past sixty or more years and continued pursuit of the sport even though furtively. No one knows more about the struggle with self-conciousness that caused the kite flier to remain hidden from view at the end of the line below a dancing kite than this apostle of all tethered aircraft.
