The French call them theGuignol;the Americans,the bodyless puppets;the Germans,the Kasperle Theatre;and theEnglish,the Punch and Judy Show.  \nIt was in the seventeenth century that theglove-puppet theatre predominated.  \nPunch or Punchinello is supposed to havecome to England through an Italian namedPorsini.He performed his Punch and Judyshow in London.  Probably this Italian cameover to this country about the time of theRestoration,but there are no records known toprove this.  \nDuring the eighteenth century a war wagedbetween the puppet theatre and the legitim","cbCailQYl3zyb2Ej","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailQYl3zyb2Ej","pdf",3016083,74,"English","# Contents\n## Chapter I\n### A Short History of the Glove Puppet\n## Illustrations\n## Types of Puppet Heads","[{\"question\":\"Where does the earliest glove-puppet evidence mentioned in the chapter come from?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to a manuscript in Oxford’s Bodleian Library, titled \"},{\"question\":\"What other countries’ glove-puppet traditions are named?\",\"answer\":\"It also explains that Punch was believed to have come to England through an Italian named Porsini and performed in London.\"}]","GLOVE PUPPETRY for Young Children - Chapter 1 - A Short History of the Glove Puppet | PDF",1790712086,114]
