RIDENOUR'S CARNIVAL BOOK(Inscribed with a dedication at your request)"A SEASON OF MADNESS:FOOLS, MONSTERS, AND MARVELS OF THE OLD-WORLD CARNIVAL"Growing out of Ridenour's study of the Krampus and Winter folk celebrations, his latest volume explores the traditions of early Spring, the "Fifth Season" of Carnival.Sumptuously illustrated with over one hundred historical and modern images and illustrations, "A Season of Madness" takes readers to cultural hinterlands where Carnival is more strange, more marvelous, and even a bit frightening.
