Royal Moveable Punch & Judy brings the two puppets (and their various friends and enemies) alive in this oversized movable book. In astonishingly good condition for a moveable of its age. It may be hard to reconcile Punch’s belligerent behavior in a PC age, but here we have him beating Judy, the Clown, Mr. Shallabala, and most everyone else who comes near…even Judy’s Ghost! Activated by a single tab at the bottom of each page, this is a remarkable product of its time and…except for one small facsimile (Judy’s Baby)…in original condition.
