The book tells about the history of the Russian folk rag doll. Masters of puppetry gathered them on ethnographic trips and presented them to us again. Diagrams and drawings will help you make dolls with your own hands. We and our children have a unique opportunity to join the folk culture, learn ancient art - to create puppet images with our own hands. The book is addressed to parents and kindergarten teachers, labor teachers in schools - everyone who is eager to create works of puppetry.
