Imagination Illustrated: The Jim Henson Journal By Karen Falk and Lisa Henson The Front Royal Women’s Resource Center and Royal Oak Bookshop donate books to Samuels Public Library that are by or about women. This book is a recent donation and is available for checkout. It would not be the least bit surprising to realize that Jim Henson’s
name is probably known all over the world. The beauty, joy, and love he and his creations have brought to young and old alike leave one breathless. The artistry Henson demonstrated was consumed with compassion and enabled viewers to enter a sphere that was replete with imagery which is still being realized long after his untimely

demise. His maternal grandmother was his first ‘teacher’, prompting him to stretch his mind to see beyond the obvious. She was a painter, quilter, needle worker and her encouraging strokes enhanced Jim’s creative spirit. In this book, Ms. Falk recounts this ingenious spirit through the documentations in the diary that Henson began in June, 1965, and affords the reader the opportunity to walk along with him as history was made. It is marvelous to see the illustrations, drafts and scripts that were created as ideas were conceived. One does not have to have an imagination to appreciate this genius.
