The World of Puppets is a site dedicated to the art of puppetry. Within you will find various characters brought into being from hunks of foam, reams of cloth and rivers of glue - to name but a few of the life giving ingredients. Elsewhere on the site you will find a  detailed, adult look at the art of puppetry on British television, from the Muppets to Gerry Anderson, including its origins in the depths of history and whether or not puppets are truly a medium simply for kids - an  unfortunate banner which has befallen them in today's modern world.
