The story of this amazing woman - an icon in the field of shadow theatre in the US, but about whom one knows so little - would have gone into oblivion if it were not for this eloquent book. Of particular significance is the author's conclusion regarding the unexpected positive roles played by the Great Depression and WWII in the success of Benton's career as a performer of Chinese Shadows.
