Description
Weatherhill A Kite Journey Through India by Tal Streeter
"A Kite Journey Through India" takes readers on a voyage of discovery and adventure, from the Punjab in the north to Madras in the south, into the bustling hubbub of India;s colorful markets, its chaotic, energy-filled streets, and the homes and shops of talented artisan families. Along the way you will meet a rich variety of Indian personalities, from the fantastically wealthy nawab princes of old, whose kites carried packets of pure gold and silver, to the cab driver-philosopher we meet in the opening chapter and 'the man who could see stars in daylight' at the book's close. Tal Streeter--artist, author, traveler--is known worldwide as the preeminent authority on Asian kites. "A Kite Journey Through India" is a stunning sequel to his critically acclaimed "The Art of the Japanese Kite," long recognized as a classic.
