| Paper Toy Making by Margaret Campbell, 1937 | |||||||
| 'Paper
Toy Making' by Margaret Campbell was first published by
Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons Ltd in London, probably in
1937, although both the Foreword and Preface are dated
1936, which argues that the book was complete at that
date. In his Preface, Margaret Campbell's son, Roy, says 'Though she includes many of the traditional tricks, a great many more of these paper structures are of her own invention.' Unfortunately the text of the book does not clarify which are which. In her Introduction, Margaret Campbell herself states 'I learned much of my paper-folding in Japan, China and other Eastern countries ...'. The text does not, however, clarify which designs she learned during her travels and which were obtained from other published sources. The book is not divided into formal chapters or sections. The contents are: Envelope
