=Shadow Making= has been a very popular amusement for several
centuries. There is a great deal of _fun_ and instruction in it, and
its long life is due to the fact that it has always been a source of
keen delight to grown people as well as to children.
In getting material together for this little book, the author has been
greatly aided by English, French and American authors, some of whom are
professional shadowists. It has been the author's special effort to get
the subject and apparatus into a practical, cheap form for boys and
girls.

shadow pictures, shadow entertainments, shadow plays, etc.
