Fun with String Figures,
By
This review is from: Fun with String Figures (Paperback)
This is a Dover reprint of a book originally printed in the 1930s. As such it is illustrated entirely in line drawings in a similar style to those in String Figures and How to Make Them: A Study of Cat's Cradle in Many Landsby Furness Jayne. The one difference is that each figure is illustrated only with a drawing of the final figure, there are no step by step drawings to show the positions of the hands in the manipulation of the strings. All the instructions given are in the form of step by step text. However I made several of the figures in the book without difficulty and particularly enjoyed the Apache Door.
The book starts with an interesting article by the author in which several of the figures are illustrated as part of the discussion. However although textual instructions are given later in the book you have to refer back to the article to find the illustration of the figure which is a little irritating. There are other much better books out there but this is quite a good starter which may please a beginner.
