rehearse and present puppet
plays. This is the first puppet
book which stresses the
creative approach to all
phases of production, and
shows the special qualities of
the puppet theatre's dramatic
art. The authors discuss the
basic principles of play
construction and suggest the
kinds of subjects best suited to
puppet presentation. They
suggest ways in which a group
can create its own plays
especially adapted to puppet
actors. They tell how to use
common materials to make
strikingly effective puppets
which are real characters,
imaginatively designed, well
constructed and stage-worthy
as actors. The construction
methods described are
suitable for young children as
well as for high-school
students and adults. Also
