Description

Product Description from Columbia to Nigeria by way of new Orleans and Romania, this is a delightful book that brings the cultures of the world to life in a fresh new take that will appeal to children an adults alike.
. Review YS BOOK REVIEW: Clearly a labor of love, this vibrant compendium of bizarre and colorful festivals from around the world is a visual feast. The bold, black-outlined art in bright colors is appealing and playful, with a retro feel. With a table of contents, index and maps, Flowers passionately catalogs the festivals by depicting the visual eccentricities of each one, from the Scottish Burryman, a parade of men in costumes made of thousands of burrs, to the Spanish Hombres de Musgo, a 14th century tradition of men in costumes of moss getting showered by flowers. I found myself fascinated by the illustrations themselves, as much as the festivals. KALEIDOSCOPE REVIEW: All around the world there are festivals, but many of them are little-known outside of the region in which they are celebrated.

In many places however, ancient folk traditions are still lived, loved and experienced in the modern day. Festival Folk is a new book by Rob Flowers, an illustrator with a very distinctive and eye-catching style. The book covers festivals from around the world, and illustrates the festival goers, their costumes and the significant details of each, as well as a breakdown of the recurrent themes that crop up, a calendar of the festivals throughout the year, and the spread of the celebrations across the world, showing just how many different cultures love a party. At the beginning, a foreword by the director of the British Museum of Folklore explains the importance of celebration, and of stepping outside of our ordinary lives, to become, however briefly, something extraordinary, and in doing so, to celebrate our existence. Flowers himself then goes on, in his Authors Note, to initiate us in the world of Festival Folk as an introduction to some of the
