Take a trip in a time machine and find out about the flute’s LONG and fascinating past! Join Flutie and Pickle on their time-traveling adventure and get to learn about and hear some amazing flutes throughout history along the way! This is “Flutie and Pickle’s Journey Through Time-Paperback Book.”
This children’s book (or book for the young at heart) takes the reader on a journey through time to meet the many instruments found in the flute’s long history, including the Hohle Fels and Jiahu flutes, ney, bansuri, Native American flute, recorder, Renaissances flute, fife, Baroque and Boehm flutes, and the flute with glissando headjoint.
Paperback and digital editions of the book can be purchased directly from the author here. The book is also available through Carolyn Nussbaum, Flute World, and Amazon.

Tell me about this book club!
The AFS Book Club will meet 5 times from October through April to discuss flute, music history and helpful performance related books. There’s something for everyone! Flute topics, performance tips, humorous music history, and even a fictional book! What's even better, it's free for all AFS members!
OK, I'm interested! How do I participate?
Read the AFS Book Club selected book (or a paragraph or a chapter) and come discuss the book. Haven’t read the book? Come and socialize with fellow AFS members! RSVP is highly appreciated, but not required.
All book clubs need to have extra fun - in addition to discussing the book, there may be additional activities at a book club meeting. These activities will be short, appropriate for everyone and will be related to the book being discussed. The new book will be announced at the end of the previous AFS Book Club meeting and online.
We’ll be meeting at a coffee place, so please be prepared to buy your own drink or snack. AFS wants everyone to be included - many of the books are available at libraries. Think about sharing a book with someone from AFS once you have finished reading it, or if you are able, buy an extra book to donate to the AFS library!
