Jacqueline Sarrazin’s *Les marionnettes* offers a hands‑on guide to creating and animating your own puppets. Drawing on everyday objects and simple modeling techniques, the book walks readers through the entire process—from selecting materials and shaping figures to painting, dressing, and mastering manipulation. Illustrated step‑by‑step, it encourages experimentation and creativity, making it suitable for hobbyists, educators, and anyone interested in the playful art of puppetry. Published by Ulisse in 1999, this compact paperback serves as both a practical manual and an invitation to explore the theatrical possibilities of everyday items.
