Puppets have always reflected society, its creations and its audiences, past and present, here and elsewhere. Puppets still exist on every continent and perform vital functions in many human groups […]. This book provides a general introduction to puppetry in Liège and its history, followed by a selection of the most remarkable pieces in the collection of the Musée de la Vie wallonne. A stylistic catalogue detailing the specific characteristics of the various sculptors listed, as well as a typological catalogue devoted to the diversity of characters, complete this panorama of Liège puppetry.
