The Magic of Marionettes by Anne Masson
Jan 29th, 2006 by Hil
I remembered yesterday that the tip about storing marionettes by twirling them so the strings twist up together (in the comments under my last post) came from a lovely book called The Magic of Marionettes
The book covers how to make the puppets, how to put on a performance, write a simple play, and it discusses props, scenery, sound effects and scripts that might be used, while keeping lots of room for individual creativity, and emphasizing that the process is as important as the result.
Checked out the book at amazon.com. You can buy it used for a couple of dollars but they won’t ship to the UK. You can buy it on amazon.co.uk too….for £12! Will keep searching. Might find a used book site elsewhere.
Managed to get a second hand copy of this sent from the States. Looking forward to reading it.
Oh thats good, Sally. I hope it comes up to expectations!
