SUMMARY- This book is widely heralded as the first influence on many Western origamists. The author herself tells us that she put the book together for her grandchildren, that they might have the pleasure of making their own toys as she'd taught her own children to do, and hadn't thought of publishing it for a wider audience. Her diagrams are surprisingly clear, though the models for the most part are simple, and there is kirigami well represented in the mix. I bought a first edition for the craft library I've been building, but the Dover edition is much cheaper and easier to find, so I've given you the cover scans of both.
