Man, I LOVED this show! I can hardly wait for the release!

Henson fans, rejoice! On August 26th, Columbia/TriStar Home Entertainment presents the DVD debut of Jim Henson's The Storyteller - The Complete Collection. Directed by Anthony Minghella (The English Patient), Henson takes us through the fantasy of recognizable European folk/fairy tales with narration by the Storyteller, played wonderfully by John Hurt.

If you watched this series on HBO back in the late '80s, you'll be thrilled to know that each of the 9 episodes are included in this release...all 216 minutes of "The Soldier and Death," "Fearnot," "The Luck Child," "A Story Short," "Hans My Hedgehog," "The Three Ravens," "Sapsorrow," "The Heartless Giant," and "The True Bride". Priced at an SRP of $24.95, this will be a must-have for everyone who loves Henson's work.

Although I seem to remember an episode that isn't listed, which was about a boy in modern times who helped make an animatronic dragon... I wonder if it was really an episode of the show, or just a figment?

no you're right, i remember the story about the mechanical dragon too... it wasn't exactly modern times though, more like a surreal retroversion of the present

was fearnot the one about the mill that was haunted by ghosts/devils? and a traveller who made a bet to spend the night in there, and ended up conning the devils?

I don't think so... if I remember correctly, "Fearnot" was the onje about the guy who could feal no fear or emotions. And then in the end, the girl would not marry him, and he became afraid of living his life without her and started crying. One of my favorites, regardless of what the name was :)
