Wondrous perspective of Greek Folklore!!!, 8 March 1999

That Jim Henson! He sure did know how to capture the charisma of mythology and folklore. This is no exception.

This time, instead of a typical Storyteller in a beautiful cabin, it's a Greek Storyteller taking refuge in a Labyrinth on Rhodes island. I like all the stories here,too.Nada bad one at all!!!

Like the 1st "Storyteller",this is very dark and sometimes pretty frightening for wee ones. No cutesy low-rent puppets singing and dancing with starry lil' eyes. No bubblegum nor sugar-coating. The muppets,like in the 1st half of this mini-series is pretty realistic and fantastic like usual.

Watch this when this comes on sometime!
