Product Description
Who hasn’t thrilled to the wonders of the carousel, with its wind-blown manes and fanciful steeds? From glistening white unicorns to winged elephants and roaring tigers, this celebration of carousel animals takes a colorful look at an art form that’s one part fantasy and two parts exceptional craftsmanship. More than 100 photographs display the work of the most prolific and skillful woodcarvers of the carousel heyday and examine the loving detail they poured into each of their creations. Collectors, preservationists, and all who have been mesmerized by the undulations of the carousel menagerie will find themselves caught up in the magic on view in these pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best photographs I've seen!, July 25, 2008
By H. B. Zachry "okzack2" (Midwest City, Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a woodcarver and have carved several small carousel horses. I am currently working on a half-size version and need really good reference materials. This book has been of immense help. The carousel animals chosen for the book are excellent and the photography is truly outstanding. To complement the photography, the printing in the book is remarkable. The author (and photographer) is knowledgeable so the information and the presentation are both of the highest quality. I have a considerable collection of books relating to wooden, hand carved carousel animals and this is among the best.
