Description:
Robert Hale & Company, London, second edition, 1990. Cloth, 8vo, 22 cm,. 366 pp, ills, plates. The classic work on the English puppet theatre. "What is the origin of Punch and Judy? Have puppet shows always been for children? Did the great Dr Johnson and Samuel Pepys enjoy puppet shows? Why did professional dramatists Samuel Foote and Thomas Dibdin write plays for puppets? Did Gordon Craig really want to abolish human actors and replace them by puppets? Were puppet plays once a rival to the opera for fashionable London society? In the course of twenty years' research, scholar and distinguished puppeteer George Speaight has uncovered the answers to these and many other questions." - from the blurb. Very Good in a dustwrapper which has slight loss at the foot of the spine but is otherwise Very Good.
