What reading level is An Introduction to String Figures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 •*' ' Fish-in-a-Dish.
Figure 6 — Cat's Cradle : The Four Standard Figures.
i8 STRING FIGURES as a hearse-cover, a chess-board, a cow's-eye, a rice-pestle, and the interpolated figure as chop-sticks. In other places other names are given.
I do not propose to describe Cat's Cradle further. As usually played, it leads only to a fixed sequence of four or five forms ; no skill is required, and there is Httle opportunity for variety. Probably to-day ethnologists are the only people of mature age wh...o concern themselves with it. It is beheved to have had its origin in Eastern Asia, and to have been thence conveyed to Northern Europe, perhaps by tea traders. A map of the localities in which it is practised shows a band of marks along the east and north of Asia and the north of Europe. From England, with its unceasing output of emigrants, missionaries, and venturers, it has probably been carried to other localities, but I do not think it is common outside the places I have named.
Oceanic examples of Classes a and (3 are more interesting and far more widely spread.
