A review by russellreitsema
Custodians of Wonder: Ancient Customs, Profound Traditions, and the Last People Keeping Them Alive by Eliot Stein

4.0

Probably my favorite Non-fiction so far this year. I devoured this curious look into some of the rarest and most interesting pastimes and cultures that are on the brink of extinction. From particular pastas to braided bridges and trees with their own postal code, the author portrays the legacy of these people and their ways of life in a way that makes me want to hold them dearly and protect these cultural treasures. Truly a look at the human pursuit.
