Brothers and sisters! Here at last is a light-hearted,
free-spirited, groovy guide to the timeless hippie skills
and activities that make the world a better place, one
macrame belt at a time. In illustrated, easy-to-follow
instructions, author Chelsea Cain -- who grew up on an Iowa
hippie commune -- provides practical and playful know-how
for the hippie and hippie-at-heart. Learn how to milk a
goat, build a compost pile, play "Kumbaya" on the guitar,
teach a dog how to catch a Frisbee, and get your file from
the FBI. Discover the finer points of caring for a fern,
choosing a mantra, organizing a protest, naming your hippie
baby, and making sand candles as holiday gifts. Including
primers on cooking, dressing, driving, telling time,
dancing, and celebrating your birthday in classic hippie
style, and a righteous appendix of essential hippie books,
movies, and slang, The Hippie Handbook knows the
score. Right on.
