《外国民间玩具集》是中央工艺美术学院从事民间美术研究多年的王连海先生的近作。收到他的稿件后，就使我从心中产生一种由衷的愉悦。我也曾下乡采风收集过不少中国民间玩具，但一次见到这么多国外的玩具倒是头一回，有陶瓷、泥塑、竹林、布制、纸塑、皮革、玻璃的等等，可谓 “Foreign Folk Toys Collection” is a recent work by Mr. Wang Lianhai who has been engaged in the research of folk art for many years by the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts. After receiving his manuscript, it made me heartfelt pleasure from my heart. I also went to the countryside to collect the wind to collect many Chinese folk toys, but once I saw so many foreign toys, it was the first time there were ceramics, clay sculpture, bamboo, cloth, paper, leather, glass, etc.
