Reviews

'[This] book is well worth the investment for fledgling puppet artists, especially if they have a little costume construction background. Lambeth’s love for (and expertise in) puppetry comes across strongly, and this reader felt an instant ease with her format, content, and style. I really look forward to using some of her techniques and ideas in my own future work'. - Tom Burch, Theatre Design & Technology
