Jim Henson's The Storyteller: The Novelization
Description
When people told themselves their past with stories, explained their present
with stories, foretold the future with stories…the best place by the fire
was kept for…The Storyteller! Finally back in print and in a gorgeous new
hardcover, Jim Henson’s The Storyteller features nine folktales based on
Henson’s Emmy-award winning television series, beautifully told by Academy
Award-winning director Anthony Minghella. Before writing the Academy Award-
winning classic The English Patient and being nominated for the Academy Award
for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Talented Mr. Ripley, the late Anthony
Minghella worked alongside Jim Henson to bring forgotten tales of European
folklore to vivid life on television. The series debuted to critical acclaim
and in deference to the tales that inspired Henson and the series, Minghella
adapted the nine stories into prose. Accompanied by stunning illustrations
from an array of artistic talent and style, these tales are the early work of
an incredible storyteller and are part of a series of novels being printed by
Archaia and the Jim Henson company that celebrate the creative spirit of Jim
Henson and his collaborators. In his introduction Minghella dedicates the book
and these stories to his son Max, writing, “I have tried to fill his days with
their magic just as he has filled my days with his own.” Now, long after taken
out of print, fans can share the magic of these stories and the master
storyteller who crafted them, with readers of all ages. Read more
