Synopsis "Festivals & Traditions in Switzerland"
Fire and fur, bells and masks!This book takes you on a very special journey through Switzerland to experience the traditional festivals and customs celebrated in all the seasons. Some are happy and colorful, others are wild and scary. You&;ll hear the thunderous noise made by bell-ringers and brass bands at Carnival. You&;ll see Hom Strom and his pillar of fire burning in the night sky. You&;ll meet a real Pschuurirolli&;half human, half wild beast&;and the dreadful Tschäggäta with their terrifying masks. On the journey, you&;ll also encounter shepherds, rifle queens, and men dressed as trees. At the bull market in Zug, you&;ll place a bet on the fastest pig; and in the Jura region, you&;ll admire the horse riders as they race bareback over the track. You&;ll even find out why the Griffin goes as far as baring his behind in Basel. You&;ll be surprised. And you&;ll laugh. And you just might be a little frightened, too. Are you ready? This unique collection is a fascinating treat for the whole family.
