Jim Henson’s Storyteller series is great.  I bought the Greek Myths series today:  Daedalus, Orpheus, Perseus, and Theseus.  Michael Gambon is great as the storyteller, and Brian Henson is funny as The Dog.  My favourite is Theseus, because he is a horrid character – broken promises litter the plot.  But Ariadne is glorious.  Medusa, too, in Perseus is captivating – she was great, and almost (but not quite) sympathetic.  I’m looking forward to using it with my kiddies.
