Puppets & Marionettes: A Collector’s Handbook & Value Information (Schiffer E book for Collectors)

For hundreds of years, entertainers have strung their audiences together with these charming characters. This writer does the identical, chronicling the worldwide fascination with puppets over hundreds of years. From Pinocchio to Kermit the Frog, from Indian stick figures to Jerry Mahoney puppets, these collectibles have entertained and educated generations. They’re an ideal medium for telling tales, some fairly critical and deeply significant and others meant merely for leisure and laughter. Puppets and Marionettes will convey again reminiscences of childhood, of the early days of tv and the hours of enjoyment these animated characters have introduced into our lives. On this new ebook, Jan Lindenberger, with the assistance of her buddy Joel Martone, provides a variety of puppets and marionettes in additional than 500 full-color pictures. Concisely captioned with present costs, that is the proper ebook for the collector to take into the sector.
