From the publisher’s website:

A translation of the contents of the manual used for the masked dance of Korea. Readers will delight in the wit and liveliness of these dramas that depict human errors as well as the redeeming virtues of social bonds.

“…a pioneering collection of Korean mask-dance and puppet plays… a fine introduction to the traditional vernacular Korean theater…”–Choice
