This small sized book is a companion to the 2016 public television broadcast of the same name; it follows the segment exactly, but also stands alone as a rich source of European history, culture and tradition. The many photographs explain and enhance the text. I can verify from my own experiences that what is presented is factual. This book would make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys European traditions, especially during Spring time.
