Reviews

"recommended"--Choice; "A wonderful new research guide and reference for the theatre historian and puppetry aficionado. American Puppetry: Collections, History, Performance not only lists and describes the major puppet-related collections located throughout the United States, but also explores the lives and histories of American puppetry's most innovative and dynamic practitioners. This book's essays provide the perfect springboard into deeper research of the unique and always fascinating history of puppet theatre. I heartily recommend it."--Puppeteer Phillip Huber.
