Description

2012 Reprint of 1935 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. As engaging these days as when it at the beginning gave the impression, this book has two parts. The primary describes the colorful life of two artist-puppeteers and their travels during the famine and revolution torn land, into remote oriental provinces. The second one is the practical part. It tells just how the writer conceives her plays, and make and works her puppets, whether or not they be hand-puppets, shadow figures or the special hand and rod combination type she evolved. No other book has gone so deeply into the heart of the artist the use of puppets. The Efimovs invented an original design of puppets on rods, which enabled them, by the use of experiment, to stage scenes from “Macbeth”.
