  • The Tony Sarg Marionette Book

    John Frederick McIsaac

    eBook (, March 29, 2010)
    This entertaining volume was published in 1921 for both adults and children. From the book's Introduction: This little book is about Tony Sarg and his marionettes. It aims to acquaint you with the lovable and unique personality of Tony Sarg, illustrator, cartoonist, and cre- ator of marionettes; and to tell you about puppet shows, a little of their long and varied history and of certain matters connected with modern puppets which have prob- ably awakened your curiosity, if you have been fortunate enough to see the plays acted by Mr. Sarg's artistic and expressive manikins. Tony Sarg himself is responsible for a great deal of the information contained in this book. He has revealed some of the mysteries which make his marionette productions so different from ordinary puppet shows, and has spent hours with the author, telling him how he became inter- ested in marionettes and how he developed the quaint old form of entertainment along the lines of the modern "artistic marionettes," as they are known in Europe, of which his dolls are probably the most charming examples of the present day. Mr. Sarg has consented to tell young people how they may build marionette stages of their own and how to make and operate puppets. In this book, children who can work with tools, and have some dramatic instinct, will find instructions which will enable them to give suc- cessful marionette productions at home.

    Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
