Description :

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER &#8226For the first time

ever&#8212acomprehensive biography of one of the twentieth

century&#8217smost innovative creative artists: the incomparable,

irreplaceable Jim Henson He was a gentle dreamer whose genial bearded

visage was recognized around the world, but most people got to know him

only through the iconic characters born of his fertile imagination: Kermit the

Frog, Bert and Ernie, Miss Piggy, Big Bird. The Muppets made Jim Henson a

household name, but they were just part of his remarkable story. This

extraordinary biography&#8212wrtten with the generous cooperation of the

Henson family&#8212coers the full arc of Henson&#8217sall-too-brief life:

from his childhood in Leland, Mississippi, through the years of burgeoning

fame in America, to the decade of international celebrity that preceded his

untimely death at age fifty-three. Drawing on hundreds of hours of new

interviews with Henson's family, friends, and closest collaborators, as well as

unprecedented access to private family and company archives, Brian Jay

Jones explores the creation of the Muppets, Henson&#8217scontributions to

Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live, and his nearly ten-year campaign to

bring The Muppet Show to television. Jones provides the imaginative context

for Henson&#8217snon-Muppet projects, including the richly imagined worlds

of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth&#8212aswell as fascinating misfires like

Henson&#8217sdream of opening an inflatable psychedelic nightclub. An

uncommonly intimate portrait, Jim Henson captures all the facets of this

American original: the master craftsman who revolutionized the presentation of

puppets on television, the savvy businessman whose dealmaking prowess

won him a reputation as &#8220thnew Walt Disney,&#8221and the creative

team leader whose collaborative ethos earned him the undying loyalty of

everyone who worked for him. Here also is insight into

Henson&#8217sintensely private personal life: his Christian Science

upbringing, his love of fast cars and expensive art, and his weakness for

women. Though an optimist by nature, Henson was haunted by the notion that

he would not have time to do all the things he wanted to do in life&#8212afear

that his heartbreaking final hours would prove all too well founded. An up-close

look at the charmed life of a legend, Jim Henson gives the full measure to a

man whose joyful genius transcended age, language, geography, and

culture&#8212an continues to beguile audiences worldwide.NAMED ONE OF

THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BOOKPAGE&#8220Ji Henson
