Ascending into the open air of the blue sky, hot-air balloon flights have always sparked curiosity because they can fulfill that very human desire to fly. In a playful, delightful tone, this book provides a sweeping historical investigation into the world’s fascination with hot air balloons. Including fanciful stories documenting both dreams accomplished and adventures short-lived, this book is published on occasion of the 100th anniversary of August Salomon Andrée’s journey to the North Pole.
