XX [From the dust jacket back and inner flaps] A master puppeteer tells the remarkable history of mankind's most intriguing theater entertainment, the puppet show. Richly illustrated with a world-wide collection of paintings and photographs, 72 pages in color. XX Everywhere, in every age, one of mankind's favorite forms of theater entertainment has been the puppet show. Here Bil Baird, a master puppeteer of our time, recounts the history of his art, from its remotest yesterday to its bright and promising tomorrow. Along the way, he examines the famous and outrageous Mr. Punch, the raucous Karaghioz, the noble knights of the Orlando legend, the lovely shadow plays of Asia, the unique Bunraku puppets of Japan, and the exciting developments in today's puppetry around the world. XX Bil Baird has been a puppeteer since the age of seven. He was an early associate of the great Tony Sarg. Since then, for the past 31 years, he has run his own show. For theaters, night clubs, films, and TV, he has created a puppet and marionette population of some 2,000 characters, ranging in size from seven inches to 125 feet (for Macy parade balloons). He has been a cruising ambassador of puppetry for the State Department in India, Russia, Afghanistan, and Nepal. His home is a six-story workshop, film studio, and warehouse in New York City. His wife Cora, a former actress and Martha Graham dancer and an accomplished puppeteer, is his working partner. They met during the production of Orson Welles' Dr. Faustus, for which Bil created puppets of the Seven Deadly Sins, and Cora was all their voices.
