At first sight, a flag is nothing more than a simple rectangle of fabric, with a pattern of lines and colors that are easy to copy and recognize. Never has a first impression been so misleading! Each flag hides symbols of the events sentiments and pride of the people it represents. This book will teach you the language of flags, you will learn what the colors and symbols chosen by each nation actually mean and, even what rules to follow as you draw your very own flag.
