The following are extracts from two very enthusiastic reviews.

DaSilva Puppet Books UK, 'If there was an award for the best puppet book of the year, this book would surely win it!

Lowdown Magazine Australia, 'This book deserves to be on the library shelves of every school and institution with a interest in drama and the performing arts... I'd give it to anyone from 10 to 100.

Anita's Book will introduce you to the major principles of puppetry.

Puppetry is perhaps the greatest way of integrating all the arts. It welcomes music, dance, visual design, language, literature, mask, film and television. Puppetry loves clowning and circus skills, light shows, story telling and magic. Puppetry is a rich fertile sphere of communication, visual stimulation, excitement, provocation, fantasy and fun!

Puppets are active participants, not static decorative objects. This book examines method of design, construction and employment of puppets intended for use in a dramatic context. It explores ways in which puppets can be brought to life; puppets with things to do, people to meet and remarkable stories to tell!

As well as the detailed text, the book contains over 500 technical and informative drawings by the author.
