''Long Ago and Far Away'' is a TV series that aired on PBS Television from 1989 to 1993. It was created by WGBH, a public television broadcast service located in Boston, Massachusetts. WGBH is a member of PBS, which allowed for this TV series to be viewed on various other PBS stations. Each episode began with host James Earl Jones sitting in a chair in a room with a table, lamp and window. The walls were blue with white dots in order to make it appear as if these living room items were sitting out in space or the night sky. James Earl Jones talks during the short opening section, then acts as narrator for the balance of an episode. This series, aimed at children aged six to nine years old, presents stories based on traditional fairy tales. A number of presentation methods were used to tell these stories, with stop motion animation, live-action or cel animation being used depending on the episode. ''Long Ago and Far Away'' also featured a number of guest narrators including: Tammy Grimes (narrated "The Happy Circus"), Kim Loughran (narrated "Bill and Bunny"), David Suchet (narrated "The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship"), and Mia Farrow (narrated "Beauty and the Beast" and "Pegasus"). In the episode "Emperor's New Clothes", Regis Philbin provided the voice of the Emperor. ==Awards== * National Education Association Award, Advancement of Learning through Broadcasting * Action for Children's Television, Achievement in Children's Television Award * National Catholic Association of Broadcasters and Communicators, Gabriel Award, Best National Children's Program * International Film and Television Festival of New York, Gold Medal * Connoisseur Magazine, Connie Award, Best National Children's Series * International Reading Association, Broadcast Media Award 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Long Ago and Far Away (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
