In this fascinating and colorful book, researcher and performer John McCormick focuses on the marionette world of Victorian Britain between its heyday after 1860 and its waning years from 1895 to 1914. Situating the rich and diverse puppet theatre in the context of entertainment culture, he explores both the aesthetics of these dancing dolls and their sociocultural significance in their life and time. The history of marionette performances is interwoven with live-actor performances and with the entire gamut of annual fairs, portable and permanent theatres, music halls, magic lantern shows, waxworks, panoramas, and sideshows. McCormick has drawn upon advertisements in the Era, an entertainment paper, between the 1860s and World War I, and articles in the World’s Fair, a paper for showpeople, in the first fifty years of the twentieth century, as well as interviews with descendants of the marionette showpeople and close examinations of many of the surviving puppets. McCormick begins his study with an exploration of the Victorian marionette theatre in the context of other theatrical events of the day, with proprietors and puppeteers, and with the venues where they performed. He further examines the marionette’s position as an actor not quite human but imitating humans closely enough to be considered empathetic; the ways that physical attributes were created with wood, paint, and cloth; and the dramas and melodramas that the dolls performed. A discussion of the trick figures and specialized acts that each company possessed, as well as an exploration of the theatre’s staging, lighting, and costuming, follows in later chapters. McCormick concludes with a description of the last days of marionette theatre in the wake of changing audience expectations and the increasing popularity of moving pictures. This highly enjoyable and readable study, often illuminated by intriguing anecdotes such as that of the Armenian photographer who fell in love with and abducted the Holden company’s Cinderella marionette in 1881, will appeal to everyone fascinated by the magic of nineteenth-century theatre, many of whom will discover how much the marionette could contribute to that magic.

From the 1940s to the 1980s, Pelham Puppets delighted the imaginations of children throughout the world. Today, those same puppets continue to delight the adults those children became, as well as new collectors and enthusiasts of all ages. The range of puppets made by the company is quite staggering. Though no-one knows for sure just how many characters were made it is likely to have exceeded 1000, with more than 9 million puppets produced. This book brings together over 1200 full colour photographs and text, over 400 hundred pages, to provide a comprehensive guide to hundreds of characters produced during the life-time of the company. The book layout follows each range of characters as they developed over the decades. In many cases it is possible to see how the puppet character design changed according to the times. The style of photography allows close-up examination of each puppet from different angles, while celebrating the artistry and craftmanship employed by the company. This is a book as happy on a coffee table as it is in the library of collectors, auctioneers and other enthusiasts. An absolute must for the serious collector or enthusiast and an invaluable reference tool.
