I haven't seen these (you can purchase them on DVD at the site).
I
have seen and recommend
Jim Henson's Storyteller series, also available on DVD. The fairytales are wonderful (the Greek myths didn't do much for me). Worth the $14 50 times over (get it while it's still in print, that's my recommendation; $14 sounds like a liquidation price). Such marvelous stories (given a darkish Jim Henson's Creature Shop twist).
Amazing how one can revisit a great story again and again and it just keeps giving. The fairytales from the
Storyteller are like that.
