The extrordinary shadow puppet collection of Yang Fei and Li Shuwen (featured in A Life in Shadows) contains a variety of hide puppets from the late Ming, Qing, Republican, and Revolutionary periods. Commonfolk China is searching for interested publishers to create a coffee-table art book of Yang's fine collection combined with text by him and other scholars of Chinese Shadowplay. Yang and Li are also available to exhibit, run workshops and lecture on shadowplay.
