[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Coronet Books], Origami: Art of Paper Folding No. 1 It's a squirrel. It's a salt cellar. It's a turban, two penguins, a church. It's a simple piece of paper, intricately folded in the fascinating Japanese art of origami. Illustrated with hundreds of step-by-step diagrams, this delightful book takes you through progressive lessons from folding paper to the traditional cocked hat to creating fawns, pink elephants and charming Japanese ladies. And the only equipment you'll ever need is a piece of paper—never glue, scissors, or tape. Origami provides endless hours of entertainment for kids, entertainment for shut-ins, and relaxation for adults with an hour's pastime. Origami figures can also be used to decorate gift wrap or party tables. As a pastime or as an intellectual exercise, origami is one of the most enjoyable and original hobbies imaginable. This new book contains instructions for more than a hundred origami figures, and the clear, easy-to-follow diagrams will build the skills you need to create your own original figures. ---- About the author: / Über den Autor: Robert Harbin (1908-1978) was a British magician and author. He is noted as the inventor of a number of classic illusions, including the Zig Zag Girl. He also became an authority on origami. Much of his inventive genius was put into written form and he is known as one of the most prodigious authors on the subject of magical effects. However, although Harbin was brilliantly creative in the field of magic he was not a particularly good writer and his friend and associate Eric C Lewis has stated that many of Harbin's titles were ghost written for him. In 1953, Harbin and a friend of Endfield, Gershon Legman (1917–1999), discovered a common interest in the Japanese art of paper-folding. Harbin wrote many books on the subject, beginning with Paper Magic (illustrated by the young art student, the Australian Rolf Harris who in the middle of the project, caught the origami idea and contributed several intricate models himself) in 1956, and was the first President of the British Origami Society. He was the first Westerner to use the word origami for this art-form. He also presented a series of origami programmes for ITV in its "Look-In" magazines for children in the 1970s. Robert Harbin (1908-1978) war ein britischer Magier und Autor. Er gilt als Erfinder einer Reihe klassischer Illusionen, darunter das Zig Zag Girl. Er wurde auch eine Autorität für Origami. Ein Großteil seines erfinderischen Genies wurde in schriftliche Form gebracht und er ist als einer der erstaunlichsten Autoren zum Thema magische Effekte bekannt. Obwohl Harbin auf dem Gebiet der Magie brillant kreativ war, war er kein besonders guter Schriftsteller, und sein Freund und Mitarbeiter Eric C. Lewis hat erklärt, dass viele von Harbins Titeln als Ghostwriter für ihn geschrieben wurden. 1953 entdeckten Harbin und ein Freund von Endfield, Gershon Legman (1917–1999), ein gemeinsames Interesse an der japanischen Kunst des Papierfaltens. Harbin schrieb viele Bücher zu diesem Thema, beginnend mit Paper Magic (illustriert von dem jungen Kunststudenten, dem Australier Rolf Harris, der mitten im Projekt die Origami-Idee aufgriff und selbst mehrere komplizierte Modelle beisteuerte) im Jahr 1956 und war der erste Präsident der British Origami Society. Er war der erste Westler, der das Wort Origami für diese Kunstform verwendete. In den 1970er Jahren präsentierte er auch eine Reihe von Origami-Programmen für ITV in seinen "Look-In" -Magazinen für Kinder. ---- ---- Reviews from readers: / Rezensionen von Lesern: "Welcome back to the fold. When I was a child I used to watch Robert Harbin on the telly using a simple piece of paper to make all these wonderful objects. When this book first came out it enthralled me and allowed me to indulge my (then) passion for attempting the same feats. Memories of coloured paper designed for this purpose came flooding back when I saw this. To once more hold in my hand a piece of my childhood gave such satisfaction. How can you know where you are going if you don't know where you're coming from. This item arrived in much better condition than expected, given its age and I can only offer very grateful thanks to the seller for having this physical copy after all these years.
