Played all over the world, string games are known by those names which reflect the cultures they stem from. Songs are often sung as the string figures develop, becoming entwined and part of each story.
"Ancient civilisations wove the wisdom of their cultures into their string games. In Michael Taylor's stories these figures spring to life again, bestowing our children with what they may most need ... the spark of imagination."
Jaimen McMillan, Spatial Dynamics, New York and Stuttgart
