In addition to basic instructions on how to get started, this guide features brief accounts of each figure's historical background. They include Kidnapped Baby and Broken Home, Mended Home from Hawaii, A Flock of Birds and Old Man Chewing from the Solomon Islands, and the Australian Setting Sun. From the Congo come Leopard's Mouth, Rubber Band from Tibet, and from India, Scissors. Other figures spotlight the traditions of North America's Navajo and Kwakiutl peoples and natives of Brazil, Guyana, and Argentina. A great travel pastime and on-the-go activity, making string figures is a delightful, inexpensive, and easily acquired hobby.
