"Accessories" is a title in a series of books about costume and clothes. Each book looks at a particular form of clothing and discusses how and why certain materials, colours and designs are used. The function and importance of clothing in work, sport and play is described, and there is some discussion of past forms of clothing. This volume looks at different kinds of accessories from all round the world - footwear, hats, belts, bags, umbrellas and decorative items such as jewellery. It examines the practical, decorative and other functions of accessories. It also looks at the ways in which climate, culture, religion and fashion can influence the type of accessories worn in different countries. Dorothy Turner has written a number of children's books, including some in the Wayland "Great Lives" series.
