Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is chock-full of trivia about the evolution, design, and art of umbrellas. While the text focuses on the modern (English) umbrella's history, it also mentions the use and significance of umbrellas in Asian and African cultures. Numerous photographs capture the spirit of this entertaining introduction..." -- The Horn Book Guide, January-June 1998
