I really enjoyed this DVD. I watched it right through whilst slogging my way through a mountain of ironing. I bought it just for myself since I no longer have a child I can use as an excuse. Loved the traditional tales, the acting, the puppetry and the make-up. To borrow from Ronald Weasley's expansive vocabulary, it was "bloody brilliant!"

I remember watching these growing up. It used to be a family tradition to curl up in front of the fire and watch these together. We even had the book of stories to read when we went to bed. For me, this hasn't aged at all; Jim Henson puppetry really is the best. Add to this some classic yet little known folk stories and the wonderful narration of the Storyteller himself, John Hurt, and you have a classic good for any home.
I bought a DVD release of this back in the 2000's but it only contained a handful of episodes, I couldn't afford the 2nd DVD at the time so I'm glad to finally have all episodes in one place. Now, to light the fire, sit back and relive those memories.

Watching this as I type. My 5 year old son has been absolutely fascinated by this series. Watched it as a child (now 38) and have loved watching it again.
It might be slightly scary for younger children but older children will love it. Cartoons and other similar programmes these days simply don't compare.
Like the Story Teller series of stories on cassette this is something to be treasured forever.

I watched these as a child in the 80s. They still stand up as amazing stories and the artistry is still amazing. John Hurt is a master and the characters in the traditional tales come to life.

Thank you so much! This is an old family favorite and went down a treat when I put it on at Christmas, searched for this for years and was pleasantly surprised to find it on Amazon. A must watch for everyone, children and adults alike. John Hurt at his best :)

A great watch. I recommend this to people of any age especially if like me you grew up with jim Henson characters. The stories all have a good casting of famous faces including Sean bean who plays a character who doesn't get killed off, and Miranda Richardson who plays an evil witch! If like me you like both those things and inventive puppet characters then you should get this DVD.

I used to watch this as a child, it’s great to be able to relive it with my own children who are enjoying it as much as I used to! What faboulous tales and imagery, a lot better than all the modern stuff in my opinion.
