Hopefully people don't see Jim Henson's name and immediately think they know what this book is. This isn't a Muppet caper and no puppet could do these characters justice. This is an existential trip into the mind of a man who does not know his purpose in life and isn't sure how to find it. The masculine enigma that dwells beneath the surface of this book is surreally laid out. Fans of art and stories to discuss heavily need to invest in this book. Read Full Review

Tale of Sand isn't the farthest-reaching fantasy in Henson's legacy, but it also isn't meant to be. It's a personal expression of an artist's anxiety and drive.

Looking back at my time with Tale of Sand I find myself happy I got to experience it. While it has its shortcomings for me, it was unique and a surreal, often bizarre journey into the unknown. If you have an itch for something truly one of a kind that was born, in part, from one of the great creative minds of the 20th century this book is certainly worth checking out. Read Full Review
