Reviews

This meticulously researched, excellently written book is full of interest not only for puppetry enthusiasts but for theatre researchers and historians of the nineteenth century. Nothing is left out-audiences and their perceptions, the 'figure workers' and their managers, repertoire, music and musicians, portable theatres great and small, are all described. The book is a gold mine of revelation and information, to be referred to again and again.
