This vintage book is a complete guide to glove-puppetry, with historical information, directions for making glove puppets, instructions for making a stage, hints on performing, and much more. With helpful illustrations and handy tips, this volume is highly recommended for those with a practical interest in puppetry, and would make for a useful addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The Craft of Glove Puppetry and Puppet Manipulation", "Permanent Glove Puppets", "Manipulation and the Glove-Puppet Stage", "The Glove-Puppet Theatre: Two Types", "Ten Trick Glove Puppets", "Introduction to the Plays and How to Produce a Glove-Puppet Play", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on puppets and marionettes.
