There is so much in this big, heavy book, so handsomely produced, that I can't even begin to describe the many beautifully carved and painted marionettes. If the fingers in my right hand weren't so numb from carpal tunnel syndrome (surgery scheduled for next month) I might try --- but even then I couldn't possibly do them all justice. So if you really care about marionettes, look for copies among out-of-print booksellers or at the links posted below.
