From the book it seems Jim, friendly and courteous, was influenced positively by his Southern heritage.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-89786512728914993512013-12-21T00:42:30.159-06:002013-12-21T00:42:30.159-06:00Jim Henson and his work with the Muppets is an int...Jim Henson and his work with the Muppets is an interesting topic. Being from the South myself, I find it interesting that he was born in Mississippi.

The book speaks repeatedly of his ridiculous optimism.I wish everyone could be blessed with such an outlook.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-51612474531620350482013-12-16T23:38:23.400-06:002013-12-16T23:38:23.400-06:00Prashant: Thanks for the comment.

He was a thoughtful man and an autobiography would have been fascinating.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-18897742453267555722013-12-16T06:39:28.089-06:002013-12-16T06:39:28.089-06:00Bill - What an interesting story.

I always admired his creativity and his childlike sense of wonder. He died too soon.

Muppets were telecast on state-run Indian television in the eighties, I think. If Jim Henson had lived long, he'd probably have written an autobiography and that would have been equally interesting. Thanks for the fine review, Bill. Prashant C.
