A pesar de estar algo anticuado en comparación con otros, el libro es muy completo, ya que va desde los títeres más simples a los más complejos, con buenas explicaciones e ilustraciones. Lo recomiendo.
Brilliant, especially for its price.

I'm an actor by trade, and recently got to perform with the Rogue Artists Ensemble, a magical group of madmen, in a production based on Neil Gaimon & Dave McKean's graphic novel THE TRAGICAL COMEDY OR COMICAL TRAGEDY of MR. PUNCH in Los Angeles. To research the role of a Punch and Judy professor, I bought 6 books on puppeting...this hands down gave the most useful information for the least amount of money. Completely unpretentious. Enough detail to get you started to build and work with hand puppets and keep you busy for a year. If you want a more in depth book, try PUPPETS AND PUPPET THEATRE by David Currell, another wonderful book, but not one you can breeze through. Combine them on the same bookshelf would be my best suggestion.

This book is really easy to understand even though it's not pretty. The diagrams are black and white sketches but they're surprisingly understandable. I didn't realize how simple making a puppet could be before reading this book. The book has diagrams, simple instructions and also little plays that go along with the puppets. When my husband and I have time (ha ha - we have a 14 month old) we plan to make some of these.
