Complete with reminiscences by professional puppeteers and instructions for string untangling, here is a comprehensive history of these fascinating puppets that have reflected society and social change through the latter part of the 20th century. The Pelham Puppets company was formed to provide a vibrancy and color that had long been lacking in the lives of children--and adults. The puppets produced ranged from fairytale characters, such as kings, queens, and wicked witches, through loveable animals such as Wags the dog and Muffin the mule. An absolute must for collectors, this book explains the development of the puppets and the different types and their related terminology. Enlivened by lavish color photography throughout, together with contemporary illustrations, newsletters, and other memorabilia, the book provides a fascinating insight into the world of Pelham Puppets. Topics covered include the story of the Pelham company, the boxes and packaging, the manufacturing process, and insight into the world of Pelham Puppets collectors.

This book is the second in the series of photographic guides to Pelham Puppets intended for collectors and enthusiasts of these amazing toys.Pelham Puppets Ltd produced in excess of nine million puppets between 1947 and 1993. The first book in this series, 'Pelham Puppets a photographic guide volume 1', brought together hundreds of characters made by the company and now collected by enthusiasts all over the world. Volume 2 seeks to add hundreds more characters to the collection.It's been reported that Pelham Puppets Ltd produced in excess of 1000 characters during production. The several hundred puppets that appear in Volume 1 of this series are fairly well documented in sales leaflets of the era but there were hundreds more that go seemingly unrecorded in the company's records. Here I have added some of the characters from known records but not included in the first book in this series but more importantly I have added hundreds more that many collectors may have never seen, or been aware of, as they have not been documented before now.The book runs to some 400 pages with 1000 full colour plates and hundreds of Pelham Puppets from the 1940s to the 1990's.Such is the rarity of some Pelham Puppets, that the chances of discovering them in sales is very remote, since those that have been found are now treasured in private collections and until now, unseen by the public. Along with hard to find characters, this volume seeks to unlock some hidden treasures made by the company and reveal to collectors a remarkable variety of illusive, apocryphal and unique Pelham Puppets. This book is a testimony to the ingenuity of design and craftsmanship, unique to the workforce that was Pelham Puppets Ltd.

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.
