Whirligigs: The Wondrous Windmills of Voillis Simpson’s Imagination

Folk artist Vollis Simpson’s creative process leads to wind-powered whirligigs. Working on his North Carolina farm, the mechanic uses spare parts and scrap metal to build huge, elaborate, brightly colored towers. The book traces how his imagination and materials became moving constructions. Dynamic illustrations, color photographs, and back matter document the work and its maker.
