    An Excellent Collection of Lesser Known Tales
  

*by B***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014*

The Jim Henson title is very misleading in the context of these tales. The stories were originally researched and revised by respected and renowned theatre and movie director Anthony Minghella, in his earlier days, long before Truly, Madly Deeply and the English Patient. They were funded and produced as a Children's Series called the Stotyteller, with John Hurt as storyteller. Animals and creatures were devised by muppet maker Henson and Co. This book is a compilation of the stories, stripped back to the Minghella folk tales for reading (no muppets, no talking dogs, no American accents). The only visual enhancement is in the simple illustrations. Most of the action is in the child's imagination. I used to tell my children these stories (and many others I collected) from my recollection, filling in the gaps as one does in improvisation. There are some classic techniques of story telling Children's folk tales, rhyme, repetition and veiled warnings. There are also timeless lessons about danger, trickery and morality. Each story is around 20 pages in length, suitable for a 4 or 5 plus child who enjoys a scary tale, or those up to 7 or 8, when they should be reading entire books themselves. Highly recommended - Minghella put a lot of himself into these stories.

    GREAT FAIRY TALES FROM AN AMAZING TV SERIES :)
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020*

After watching the THE STORYTELLER TV series, I was really excited that there was a book that told the stories from the show. As I read this book, scenes played in my mind I remembered and loved. I loved the illustrations for each story as well as actual photos of Jim Henson and all who contributed to creating THE STORYTELLER. The final chapter, A SEAT BY THE FIRE, explains how Jim Henson and Anthony Minghella worked together to bring fairy tales to life. If you LOVE fairy tales & you’re a HUGE FAN of Jim Henson, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book.

    Never Expected a Page Turner
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2018*

I have great memories of watching the TV show with my daughters so I thought I'd send this along since they are going to have to read some bedtime stories of their own. Foolishly, I opened it (just to check). The genius of Anthony Minghella is right there. I couldn't put it down; reliving every spellbinding moment in front of the TV with my girls. It's not just for reading to the kids, it's a book that can be passed on to them. They will read and enjoy the written word at it's best. The stark, black and white illustrations are a great choice. I needed to have my head pulled into a new view of the stories. That said, the extra pages of 'behind the scenes' pictures reminded me of the phenomenal legacy of Jim Henson. What a wonderful combination of the skills of everyone involved. Also, Brian Henson played the dog, excellent.
