This wonderful book is packed with a range of quick, inexpensive ways to make the main types of puppets using objects that are spare, scrap, recycled or easily accessible.

Alongside the practical information, it also gives staging advice so that your puppets can perform as living and believable characters. This is truly a book that will bring the magical world of puppet theatre within reach of everyone, whatever their time or resource limits.
