"Puppets and Puppet Theatre" contains everything one needs to know to progress from a beginner's level to a high standard of artistry. Puppeteer David Currell concentrates on designing, making, and performing with the main types of puppets, offering detailed information on the nature and heritage of puppet theater; the anatomy of a puppet and its design and structure; materials and methods for sculpting, modeling, and casting puppet parts; step-by-step instructions for constructing marionettes as well as glove, hand, rod, and shadow puppets; and the control and manipulation of all these types of puppets. The author then covers staging principles and construction methods; principles of lighting and sound; and the basics of producing a show.

I am an amatuer in the field of puppetry, but a very dedicated one. This book satisfies my every need so far. Beautiful, inspirational photoes; great ideas and a stunning attention to detail. Very helpful - I avoided many beginner's mistakes simply by reading suggestions from this book.
