About the Book
'The Fisherman and His Wife' is a beautifully illustrated folktale from Germany, reminding us that though it may be human to dream of unlimited riches or power, there is both joy and contentment to be found in ordinary living.
Also available is a companion tale from Japanese folklore, ‘The Stonecutter,’ which has a remarkably similar message. In both books, the text and artwork are derived from the Churchill Film production, ‘Folktale from Two Lands.'

I made one independent feature film, Netherby Naps, in Yorkshire England, which took over 30 years to complete, as no deadline had been chosen. My partner since 1969 has been the author Leah Miller, who worked with me on the films that were made since then... and together we raised her two children : Richard and Corinne.
