About this book
The Jolly Book of Boxcraft is by Patten Beard. The author's note says The Jolly Book of Boxcraft has been enlarged and rewritten from work started in May, 1909. The book is described as having sixty-eight photographic illustrations and twenty-three diagrams.
The text says the teacher's desk is made from the lower half of another box and that the chair for this desk is cut from the cover of the same box that made the desk. Directions say the stove of the toy school is just a spool painted black, with the point of a long pencil run into its upper hole to represent a stovepipe. In the castle directions, the Princess is a penny doll dressed in a silver robe made of tinfoil, and the Knight is a leaden soldier whose spear is a bit of wire. A section on tools used in boxcraft play lists just a pair of scissors, some paste, and a box of crayons or water-color paints.
