Illustrated by Pat Lloyd, the book presents a thorough and practical introduction to the world of kites — from their storied history across cultures and centuries to the aerodynamic principles that keep them aloft — making it an indispensable resource for enthusiasts of all skill levels.\n\nMoulton writes with the authority of a lifelong devotee, instructing readers in the construction, design, and handling of a remarkable variety of kite forms with clarity and precision. The text argues persuasively that kite-flying is far more than a childhood pastime — it is a discipline that rewards patience, craftsmanship, and curiosity in equal measure. Whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned flyer, Kites leaves you with an irresistible urge to look skyward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130468835547,"sku":"2026200009797-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6dafaf93-8242-45ae-b2b5-e3364d7ac75e.png?v=1786585681","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009797-secondhand-kites","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
