Hans you’re are a amazing… I watched this film so long ago on PBS in the USA. I could never find who the people were who made it, even though I have a very old recording of it on VHS Tape (from the PBS show – Long ago and Far away – I think).
Thank you so much for posting this entry… now I have to see if I can find the old tape…
and if they still work.
Love you blog, and have your book Dream Worlds.
Mike
Egads, sorry for all the bad grammar… that’s why they say check your writing before you post.
Cheers,
Mike
