**Zyada** and I just got Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre boxed set and have watched a couple of the shows. (It’s great stuff!)

She had the sets modeled after the works of well-known artists. Google found me a page that says her _Snow White_ is made to look like N. C. Wyeth (we haven’t got to that yet, so I don’t know), and Aubrey Beardsley supposedly inspired the look of another episode.

I can’t find a list anywhere. Can anybody help me out?

I can’t answer your question, but I wanted to recommend a DVD that you will probably like. [The Storyteller](http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Hensons-Storyteller-Definitive-Collection/dp/B000EU1Q5E) is a collection of fairy tales and Greek myths featuring fantastic creatures from the Jim Henson Studios. Wonderful stuff!

Sounds good! I’ll look for that.
