This book takes you through the history of weathervanes and whirligigs from back in knighthood days when the boys who earned the banners used them as part of their heraldic tradition. The designs have also been used as totems, mascots, symbols and stemmed from both superstition and religion as well as representational origins. From the whittled wooden whirligigs of the 18th and 19th century to Walt Disney's Tower of the Four Winds, it's all here with a whole series of accompanying illustrations drawn by the author.

THE WHIRLIGIG MAKER'S BOOK is the result of this interest and experience.
