DESCRIPTION:
"Great International History of the Puppet" according to Mark Toonery. I was very pleased with this book. As I'm preparing a children's TV show featuring puppets (The Cartoonyville Studio Show), I thought I needed to re-visit this art form from the ground up. Previously my knowledge of puppetry was from The Art of the Muppets: A Retrospective Look at Twenty-Five Years of Muppet Magic, another great book that obviously focuses on Jim Henson's legacy. But I wanted to view a wide. Excellent overview of a complex art Todd Schall-Vess Bil Baird's book is a lushly illustrated overview of the art of puppetry. While hardly scholarly on the historical view of puppetry, it does manage to make one look twice at something that too often is dismissed as "kid stuff". A must have for someone who loves the wide variety of the world's performing arts.. A wonderful look at history JohnnyZ This is a well documented and written book on the history of puppetry. Thanks to the illustrations and photos this book will be a treasured resource for me.
