Years of study by the author have resulted in an exquisitely produced book about the relatively little-known kites of the Maori people of New Zealand. Using native materials, the Maori made a surprising variety of kites and built a culture of customs around them, including 29 names of kites. The author has been instrumental in reviving kites in New Zealand today. Illustrations include many photos, both color and black-and-white. Hardcover, 112 pages, 7-3/4" x 7-1/2", $26.95
