    • 5/5
      Incredible book, so comprehensive across all styles of puppetry. I really appreciated being shown so many alternative approaches, techniques and methods of construction, from the puppets themselves, to theatres, sets, sound and lighting.
    • 5/5
      Excellent! Comprehensive and detailed guide to making, engineering, and performing many different kinds of puppets
