      Whether you're a first-time visitor or a life-long enthusiast, here's all you need to know (and more) about Schnizelbängg and Schyssdräggzyygli and all the other fascinating aspects of Basel's famous carnival. The author, Peter Habicht, is a historian in Basel who enjoys giving lively, carefully researched tours of the town closest to his heart. Basel's Fasnacht may be impossible to describe, but Peter Habicht's tour in these pages is the next best thing to spending these three special days in Basel. Fredy Prack is a graphic designer and one of the most valued artists for Fasnacht lanterns, well-known for conveying the themes, humor and heart of the Basler (and Schnitzelbänggler) into visual form.
