Puppets and Puppet Theatre by David Currell
Puppets & Puppet Theatre has been essential reading for everyone interested in making and performing puppets for over 25 years. Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, it concentrates on designing, making and performing with the main types of puppets, and is extensively illustrated in full colour throughout. ‘This book could perhaps be subtitled “The A to Z of Puppetry”, since there is hardly a puppetry subject that is not covered ... hard to fault.’ - The Puppet Master
