With fascinating details and great range of pictures the book traces developments from the first craze for patomime started by John Rich playing Harlequin in 1717; the great Regency days of Grimaldi followed, then Augustus Harris revitalised the whole conception by intriducing the spectacular fray story form, with artists from other branches of the entertaiment world, to establish the "traditional" pantomime as we now know it.
