Long Ago and Far Away was hosted by James Earl Jones, and featured all sorts of strange and often folkloric short films—I remember best a series of Hungarian folktales, "The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship," a boy who goes up one summer into a tree and won't come back down, "The Reluctant Dragon," interlinked stories about a night circus, "Frog and Toad Are Friends," a truly weird children's adventure with werewolves and basilisks and a singing parrot, and a city trying to prevent the man whose dreams in which it exists from waking up. They were mostly claymation and animation, but some were live-action. And I can't find them on tape or DVD anywhere! It's like Square One: the show ran and then simply fell off the face of the earth.

You're very welcome. I'm glad to have stirred up old book-memories; I hope you still like Cassie Palmer on re-read. (This time around, it was like reading with double vision: I could remember how I'd perceived the language on first read, but it no longer had the same effect on me. That said, I think I liked the book much more this time.) Have you read any of her other books?
