One of the best things about Carnival is that it can be appreciated on so many different levels. There are of course the street parties and the parades to enjoy, but there are also volumes of cultural history that have been written about the celebration and its origins, which can be studied and enjoyed. Here are some Carnival works to consider. BOOKS IN WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION: Krewe: The Early New Orleans Carnival, Comus to Zulu Rex: An Illustrated History of the School of Design
