Hi everbody,

as you all know, I was bitten by a marionette bug.
Now I'm looking for a book about making wooden marionette animals.
Is there anyone who can help me finding it. I think there was onze made by Paul McPharlin.

Thx a lot, Johan

Here it is:

Marionette Construction  by Robert LeRoy Smith
Great section on everything from controllers to animals to gymnist clowns...very good book.  $23.00 from POA

Hope that helps

Puppet Circus by Peter Fraser has horses, lions ,sea.ls Etc. I believe it is still available on Amazon.com

Animal Puppetry, by H.W. Whanslaw is an excellent book on all animals from the real to the myhical {including unicorns} it looks like it can be found on amazon and may be coming back into print-Steve

I agree with Monkey, The Circus book, is one of my favorites on marionettes.  I like how the book shows examples of trick marionette construction.
