String Games for Beginners : The String Games Book

Originally published in 1934, this short but informative book provides detailed instructions on how to form string figures, accompanied by clear illustrations. Not only does it instruct how to form these, but also gives an idea of the origins of each figure. A simple and entertaining pastime for young and old, these games also reflect a little of the history and social habits of the people where they originated (including Inuit and Navajo peoples).
