About this title

Synopsis

251 pages, 8" X 11 1/2",1973, 72 pages in color Quoting the jacket cover: 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. To which we would like to add: There has never been any book to compare with this one. It remains the classic text on the history of puppetry around the world. It has dozens of amazing photographs, and a very lucid text written by one of the great master puppeteers of our time. This book has been out of print for many years. We are offering a few used copies. They are all in good condition, with the original paper cover,and with all pages intact and unmarked.
