Honestly there is not much literature out there.
Stilt walking is not actually that hard so really the best thing you can do for yourself is get some stilt find a friend to help and just go for it. After that it is just practice.

yeah, what blueberry said. :) you might think it's hard at first, but the learning curve is surprisingly short.

having now taught a lot of people to stilt, i was waaaay on the bottom end of the curve: i spent about 20 minutes terrified out of my mind, with two tall walking sticks for support and a crash mat to bail onto and spotters... then about 2 hours slowly and clumsily making my way around with one staff for support... then i slung the staff over my shoulder and walked two miles without stumbling or falling. most people take much less time than i did to get comfortable, and a few just strap on the stilts, stand up, go "huh," and start running.

so i think the hardest part is getting stilts. i'd recommend getting one or two strong spotters to help you for the very beginning, and a sturdy 8' long stick (maybe a 2x2 from a lumber yard) for just after the very beginning, just in case. and starting on grass.

keep your chest up and look straight ahead of you; keep your feet moving; pick your knees up more than you expect. in short, pretend you're marching. that'll give you the balance. you have to keep taking steps; you can't stand still, so take *lots* of steps.

soon, once your brain figures out how to map this onto regular walking, try every dance trick you know on stilts. :) that'll give you *superb* balance. :)

good luck! i hope this is of some use.
