Marionettes are loved by puppeteers and audiences for what they can do
on stage, but they can be challenging to design, make and perform. This
beautiful book clearly explains the process from making the puppets to
putting them on strings and bringing them alive. Detailed step-by-step
instructions are given to make three marionettes - a walking bird, a
dancer and a wooden man - each using different tools and materials, with
progressively more tricky techniques. Written by a leading puppeteer, it
celebrates the art of the marionette.
