Language: English Description: "Kite flying is not really a laughable occupation, though kite fliers have been ridiculed, railed at, ruled against- indeed, even persecuted- throughout their two-thousand-year history. Most people distrust the loner, the man who will not run with the pack. And the kite flier is both of these: mystic and solitary."
This book is chock full of the history of kites, with pictures and explanations of different countries traditions.
