M. C. Escher Kaleidocycles: 17 Models of Escher's Graphics and the Story of How They Were Devised

Everybody loves surprises. It is often hard to say who has the greater delight, the person who is surprised, or the one who has devised the magic. The magic of Escher's work is here extended and developed into a colourful set of three-dimensional folding models you can make for yourself. The five platonic solids and the cuboctagedron are decorated with Escher's cunning ingenuity and there is a double surprise with the eleven kaleidocycles as they create and recreate Escher's brilliant designs, some of them never published prior to inclusion in this book. Experience for yourself the delight and wonder felt by Escher as you join him on his journey.
