Festivals of the World series.
Showing how a country's festivals reflect its culture, each volume begins by locating the country on a map and briefly describing its population. While the entries don't have much in-depth information, the accessible style and liberal use of color photographs make these books useful for quick, celebratory tours of each country. Instructions for traditional crafts and recipes are included. Glos., ind.
