xiv, 184pp plus colour plate illustrations. In red cloth boards with gilt titles on spine (mild mark on text block fore-edges). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket, mildly shelf worn. The Holdens were the most celebrated English marionette performers of the 19th century, and the trajectory of the family provides vivid example of developments in entertainment across the century. Based on extensive research and lavishly illustrated, McCormick explains why the Holden shows had such an impact and were so frequently imitated. 8vo.
