History of Origami in Britain and the British Origami Society

David Lister is the undisputed historian of origami. In this new illustrated edition of his first published work, he explores the history of paper folding in Britain. It is a story about personalities, the meeting of many characters. Flowing from the folding of traditional forms to the exploration of a new wave or creativity in Europe, and the creation of the portfolio society. David explores the role of magician Robert Harbin in bringing origami to the masses and the emergence of the British origami society. David invites us to peal back the layers and unfold this wondrous tale of a simple piece of paper. This edition also includes the complete paper folding section of the first British book to publish origami, with early diagrams.
