Language: English Description: KITES are a challenge to fly; watching them dip and soar gives the kite-flyer an extraordinary feeling of freedom. This unique handbook explains the what and why of kites. It describes many kinds of kites, where they came from, and how they are built and flown. It delves into the fascinating legend and folklore of kites
and explains their place in ancient as well as contemporary times. But essentially this book never strays far from the idea that kites are fun. Vivid full-color drawings throughout complement the comprehensive text.
