Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Mr Marionette' is a whimsical and enchanting tale of wonder, capturing the imaginative spirit of early twentieth-century children's literature. The narrative revolves around the adventures of a traveling puppet showman and his delightful cast of characters, blending the charm of the theater with a touch of magic. Through the journey of the titular character, the story explores the deep bond between an artist and his craft, as well as the sense of mystery that surrounds the world of marionettes.Written with a gentle and evocative prose style, Kathleen Colvile presents a world where the inanimate comes to life through the power of performance and storytelling. The book follows the troupe through various escapades that challenge their wits and warm the heart, making it a classic example of juvenile fantasy. Its themes of loyalty, creativity, and the joy of the stage resonate with readers seeking a nostalgic escape into a simpler time.As a notable piece of historical fiction for younger audiences, 'Mr Marionette' offers a unique glimpse into the traditions of the puppet stage. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport readers into a realm where imagination reigns supreme and every curtain call brings a new adventure.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. An edition of only 60 copies, of which only 50 were for sale, means this is extremely and obviously VERY RARE and not to be compared with the trade edition. Rutherston signed and numbered the issue, and this is number 33. The drawings are what makes this so brilliantly collectable. Deco doesn't get more Art than these. Exquisite vignettes, and one gorgeous colour engraving, all offered here in their freshest state. The binding is scruffy but very typically deco also. Brown buckram spine with a paper label tucked inside. Two of the pages have been badly cut, as is clear in one of the accompanying photographs, because the book was issued with uncut pages. This is, nevertheless, a classic. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. Signed by Illustrator.…
