Title: Far too narrow of a book
Review: Raising the Wind is the life's work of Professor Ernest J. Moyne. Indeed, it was not published until after his death in 1976. This book is an exhaustive list of literary references to the use of strings or bags to generate winds throughout history. Many references are given to stories mentioning Manx strings, Scottish strings, Finnish strings and Lapp strings.I found this to be a real boring book. I had hoped that this book might provide some stories about Finnish or Lapp wizards or folktales, but was profoundly disappointed. So, if you want a book mentioning (but not going into any depth) about the use of string to generate winds, then this book is for you. For anyone else, I would suggest that you don't bother with this book.
