I have recently received a message from David Leech, the authorised historian for Pelham Puppets. He informs me that he will be publishing a new book on the puppets later this year, and will include information about the history and development of Pelham marionettes.

For more info about the book, visit www.traditionalpuppets.co.uk. David’s kindly sent me an image of the book’s front cover, which is pictured below. UPDATE 05/11/08: David has now published the book, along with creating an official site for the puppets. This is discussed in more detail here.
