A Puppet No More: The True Adventure of Tony Kemeny and His Life-long Quest for Freedom, as told to Roy Hayes. 1963 first printing paperback. 95 pages, nice condition.
The true story of Tony Kemeny, a Hungarian master puppeteer, who operated Tony Kemeny's Puppet Theatre at Knott's Berry Farm in the 1960s. The tale of his life is incredible. He was a polio victim and an orphan on the streets of Budapest, survived the Dachau death camp, was accused of being a spy and endured torture in a communist prison, went through the the Hungarian Revolution, and eventually escaped to make his way to the United States. A relatively scarce book.
