Henson's Drawings, But Not His Words.

JIM HENSON'S DOODLE DREAMS is a small book that collects together a variety of doodles Henson drew throughout his life. Jim Lewis has taken these drawings and in the spirit of Henson, written short inspiring messages about living a full and happy life. The book opens with a quote from Henson, "I know that I personally have felt quite happy because I've done what I wanted to do. I pursued my interests and have thus managed to combine my business with lots of fun. I guess my only advice is to do what you enjoy, and try to do your best with it." This quote is followed by an introduction by Jim Lewis and a short biography about Henson. JIM HENSON'S DOODLE DREAMS is a great gift for any fan of Jim Henson as well as people who have an interest in art. Just be aware that the words in the book (except the opening quote) are not Henson quotes. If you're looking for a small book like that check out, IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN.
