Hi! I’m Erich’s daughter’s partner, and just wanted to mention that Erich’s wife’s name is actually Madeline, not Margarethe.
Otherwise - great set of pictures!
Cheers,
Adrian

Sorry I can’t make it to Fasnacht this year.

Hope you have a great time, and I look forward to reading about it.

Dear Alan,

Hopefully this does not reach you too late.

I would imagine the best places to buy books in Basel are Bider and Tanner in Bankverein, or Bergli Books on Rumelinsplatz in the old town. Both carry a good selection of books on Basel-related topics.

Rgds,
Nick

We are coming again to Basel for Fasnacht (must be our 20th time) , but this time we are bringing two friends. Are there any books we can purchase in England (and in English) which we could give our friends as a gift ?

We are based in Manchester so need to know of a book store near there if possible. If not can we purchase a book in Basel on the Saturday before Fasnachtt starts ? If so where is the best place ?

Oh and by the way - we can’t wait to visit our favourite city at its most special time

You can buy masks at Manor during the weeks before Fasnacht. Used ones (with or without costumes) can be found at http://www.fasnachtskiste.ch or at various brockis. If you want to have a really beautiful, handmade one go to one of the ateliers, like http://www.ateliercharivari.ch, http://www.larve.ch, http://www.larvestube.ch, http://www.dildi.ch, just to mention a few. These masks are expensive but if you want to collect them as a piece of art, they are worth it. And don’t buy the plastik ones. They are cheaper, but only the paper ones are the original ones.

Hi Ellie,

Can you tell me, did you locate any Larval masks, i’m finding it quite hard to locate them, or do you think it’s best to try making them. I remember working with them in the Circus space, and really would like to get hold of some to work with some specail school children.

Many thanks,

Sefton

Hi,

I really enjoyed reading this! Do you have any idea where I can buy larval masks from the Basel carnival?

Thanks

Hello Nick,
I’ve just had a quick look at your weblog. It looks like you had a wonderful Fasnacht with your Clique. I was very sorry to have missed you somwhere along the line. I will have another look at the weblog tomorrow when I have a bit more time (and am not so tired after Fasnacht)Â¨
Best wishes,
Hilary
