This latest title in the hugely popular Anthology series takes a fresh new look at Earth's seasons and the traditions associated with them from around the world. This includes Hanami – the cherry blossom festival of Japan marking the fleeting beauty of spring, La Tomatina in Spain, where people throw tomatoes to celebrate summer, the Thanksgiving festival in North America, commemorating the autumn harvest, and the Harbin Festival in China, a winter festival featuring illuminated ice sculptures.
