Reviews
A fine collection of stories that use the ancient art of string figures to tell the tales. Holbrook opens by explaining how this art has crossed over many cultures from the Greeks in A.D. 100 to Native peoples such as the Navajo, Apache, and Inuit. This first chapter also covers basic string instruction for the uninitiated. Even though the best way to learn is from a personal demonstration, instructions follow guidelines developed by the International String Figure Association and are clearly illustrated, step-by-step, with black-and-white photos. The 19 stories are arranged by level of difficulty, from the easiest (two lines) to the most complicated, "Jack and the Beanstalk," which needs to be memorized exactly. A unique and comprehensive collection for storytellers.
