Was very skeptical about how they could make a life sized puppet of a horse work without it being comical. I was amazed. We all loved the play; so when I saw theres was a "Howd they do that?" book; I had to buy it. We all loved the book. Very well written and it had pictures (the best part!). Check it out if youre a War Horse buff or just interested in "suspension of disbelief" stuff. Neat.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good Read on creating the play.By Richard NottageWhat a book on the development of the play War Horse and the design and manipulating of the horses. Also got the dvd which makes a good combination into the organization and development of the show. Would like a dvd of the actual play as performed by the original cast.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. War Horse the puppetBy T. G.
