Jim Henson Video, 1994-01-01. VHS. Very Good/Fair. 7x4x1. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. excellent condition VHS tape in squashed clamshell case; Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of a young orphan who becomes involved with pirate Long John Silver is given the Muppet treatment in this vibrant children's musical. As in The Muppet Christmas Carol, the film stays loyal to the original storyline but casts the well-known puppets in many of the supporting roles. Young Jim Hawkins remains human, as does Long John Silver, played by an amusingly exaggerated Tim Curry. However, Captain Smollet is played by the evergreen Kermit the Frog; Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and Rizzo the Rat serve as roving narrators; and numerous other Muppets assume smaller roles. The familiar adventure plot is enlivened by the Muppets' good-natured, winking sense of humor, and a number of anarchic musical numbers are reminiscent of the original Muppet Show. Long-time followers of the Muppets may find the film less fresh than Jim Henson's original creations, but the combination of old-fashioned storytelling, intriguing design, and clever humor will undoubtedly amuse younger audiences.

We photograph every item. 350 pages; spine creasing, edge wear; She was a 'Jane Doe', an unidentified white female whose decomposed body was discovered near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The case fell to the Santa Teresa County Sheriff's Department, but the detectives had little to go on, and after months of investigation, the murder remained unsolved. That was eighteen years ago. Now the two men who found the body, both nearing the end of long careers in law enforcement, want one last shot at the case ...and they turn to Kinsey Millhone to help them find closure.But revisiting the past can be a dangerous business, and what begins with the pursuit of Jane Doe's real identity ends in a high-risk hunt for her killer. Based on an unsolved homicide that occured in 1969, "Q is for Quarry" and Grafton's interest in the case have renewed police efforts. The body has been exhumed, and a facial reconstruction made that appears in the last pages of the novel. It is hoped that the photograph will trigger memories that may lead to a positive identification., Berkley, 2003-09-30, 2.5<

Light Creasing on Front Cover, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Light Yellowing Due to Age. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. SYNOPSIS: Back in 1969, a lot of young people were hitting the road and disappearing. More than one of them wound up dead--including the girl in daisy-patterned pants who was found in a quarry off Highway 1 in Lompoc, the victim of multiple stab wounds. Eighteen years later, she's still a Jane Doe--and the cops who found her are still haunted by the case. Anxious to solve it, but no longer in their prime, they turn to Kinsey Millhone for help. If nothing else, they'd just like to identify the body. But this ice-cold case heats up more quickly than they expect. And for Kinsey, it will lead to a lot of dangerous discoveries--including some about her own past... Sue Grafton lives in Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky. Her previous novel was P is for Peril. A NOTE TO THE READER: Q is for Quarry was inspired by a real case in which the body of a young woman was found in Santa Barbara County, California, in 1969. The victim remains unidentified; however, with such advancements as forensic reconstruction, it is still possible that someone may recognize this Jane Doe, and that the case might even be solved. A reconstruction of the victim's face, created by Betty Gatliff, an internationally recognized forensic artist who is a fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, appears on the final page of Q is for Quarry. It is the hope of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department and Sue Grafton that, even after all this time, a reader or two may recognize Jane Doe and come forward with her identity..
