A handbook on making kites, containing 19 designs. It covers aerodynamics, stability, bridling, launching, and construction materials, with step-by-step instructions.

Every other spread provides a continuing story of the history and mythology of the kite in different cultures - China, Japan, Maori, Polynesia, Thailand, India, Bali and Ancient Greece, as well as in modern Europe and the USA.
