Introduction

Originally published in the 1940s, the author, a master of his craft, has clearly and concisely explained the making of both hand and string puppets, and also clearly shown how they may be used in appropriate settings. With the idea of giving assistance to the novice, and help to the more advanced student, the book is written in plain and concise language the diagrams and photographs should explain the intricacies of puppet-making, leaving the individual to fill in the details from his own imagination.

Background

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
