There are many things I did not know about the history of kites, and even ways that they are used today. I enjoyed learning some of this...but most of all I enjoyed the playful creatures and the quirky characters in the stunning photographs of this book. What a visual treat!
i wasn't expecting much but the kites, the skies, the landscapes were wonderful.
