### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helen Fling Marionette Book
*by A***R on July 2, 2024*

Classic How-to Book on Marionette Construction.A Definite must have for your Collection.👍

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ XXX-plicit: Marionettes! (Sorry, this is really G-rated!)
*by C***S on December 10, 2013*

I remember this book from years back, after I became a puppeteer and traveled in NYC in a troupe led by two professional puppeteers. It is quite explicit. It has so many great illustrations and patterns. It is quite clear and terrifically thorough. It even tells you things such as how to make gesso--I may have been happier when I didn't know! :)I had wanted to own it since I first saw it in another millennium, far far away. I'm glad it's in my library now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good start
*by D***L on November 6, 2012*

So I love puppets / marionettes. I bought this as a bit of a splurge item because I really just wanted to see what goes into making them and then I'd decide whether or not I wanted to take on a new craft or not.This book is a good starting point. It did give me a good idea of what goes into making a marionette. As others have said, the images are a bit dated, but that's okay, while simple it's done well.My only real gripe is that there is a large chunk of the book taken up by a play and how you would put it on. I'd really rather see that space used for more advanced tricks and techniques on how to make even better / more advanced marionettes. For example - there is little to nothing on how to handle eyes in this book (I can sum up all it says on the subject with they should be larger than normal and shellac them after painting them - when I wanted to know about making moveable ones). Same with mouths - the only really details information on a mouth is one page on making a dog mouth open. I'd really rather have had all of that space used on that play given to those kinds of things.You'll surely want to supplement this with other books or information found online - possibly even when making basic marionettes but still, as a beginner guide it does offer a fair amount of information.
