This one is a keeper. The genius of Jim Henson can be seen in the wonderful scribbles that he left us on notebook paper. They have never been seen before. The original "Oscar the Grouch" was purple and not green in a Henson scribble. Even predating the Muppets, there are designs and doodles to enjoy. All sorts of creatures ran through this mans pencil and notes.

The author is the former senior editor of the Jim Henson Company's publishing division. She knows her stuff and those of us who loved the works of this genius are grateful to Alison for this truly wonderful gem.

As I said, it's a keeper! We won't see the likes of this extremely gifted artist and storyteller again.
