It certainly is a lovely puppet and one I thought I'd never see.

Many years ago I was told there was a rags version and I wrote to ask David

Leech in his magazine "Yours Puppetually Autumn 1996 if such a version

existed.He printed a reply saying he had never come across one only the ball

gown version. So all these years later one appears.I wonder who will be the

successful bidder?

Okay, I had never come across this one before. So....??? Now we have! (People

often refer to Gretel as Cindrella in rags.)

I have to say the similarity with Gretel dress-code and the brown material does

make make the link pretty strongly.

I have a copy of this issue and saw your question alizoid. I got given these by

David in a batch of five and don't know if they are original or not. Were they

done on A4 paper? Lovely magazines though, haven't read yet but will do soon -

it's everything that went on when I was younger which I missed so interesting

for me to read.

What's the item number for that listing or link?
