the classic early American work on practical puppeteering for boys and girls of all ages 150 pp. includes: * Design and building of marionettes * Stages and special effects * Practical tips on how to put on presentations and entertain your friends * Two classical scripts for home-made marionettes by Anne Stoddard. * An inspiring boost to the imagination. Until this reprint, the Tony Sarg Marionette Book had fallen into the scarce book category and copies were sometimes sold by book dealers for over a hundred dollars. Now you can enjoy this work, share it with children, and learn from one of the original masters of puppetry.
