I am, as always, a sucker for a selkie story and I am especially fond of the more recent trend of loving selkie stories. And while One Spared to the Sea is my favorite of this quartet, they are all quite good and wildly different both in art and story.

Jim Henson's The Storyteller Sirens is an enchanting collection of fables beautifully illustrated. The storyteller of each selection enjoys the amusing companionship of their precocious dog prompting the telling of the parable. All the stories are a delight for the senses - expounding a heartfelt message not soon to be forgotten.

How these stories are told feels like being thrust back in a world of magic and wonder- and all the dangers within. The Storyteller and his companion are lovely.

I enjoyed the television series as a child and these graphic novel renderings are a delight to read in my adulthood. Just like any short stories there are ones that hit and the ones that miss. There are ones that stick with me and there are ones that I quickly forget.

I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys fairy tales or the storyteller series.
