The complete book of origami animals - David Woodroffe

Origami is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, the name coming from the words ori, meaning 'folding' and kami,
meaning 'paper'. Traditionally, there is no cutting or gluing used in
origami and all models begin with a plain, square sheet of paper.
Origami has been around since the 6th century although most techniques
still in use today originate from the 17th century with different models
rely on using the same basic folds in different ways.

David Woodroffe
combines ancient and modern techniques to create a collection of animal
models that range from simple paper folding for beginners through to
more advanced creatures for those with the nimblest of fingers and hours of patience!
