Punch and Judy: A Short History with the Original Dialogue by John Payne Collier
A brisk, engaging, enjoyable read. After seeing representations of Punch and Judy shows in a number of my favorite British sitcoms and dramas, I became curious about the story behind it all. This delightful Dover paperback is an unabridged republication of a 1929 work by John Payne Collier. The prose flows nicely and is informative and lighthearted. The inclusion of a version of the play itself is a very nice touch, as readers get to witness homicidal philanderer Mr. Punch in action. The show more inclusion of George Cruikshank's illustrations in the cherry on top; the drawings are fantastic in their own right and also help the reader envision the characters and the stage setting. Very happy to have this pleasant, fascinating, fun book in my library. show less
