I've heard of the Cameron but not read it. I think I wanted to! I will try harder.
I remember a thing Jane Austen said about her books-- that sure, she wrote about what (for her) were common everyday things instead of wars and political movements and otherwise grand things, but she saw it as "painting on a bit of ivory," small but perfect at being what it was. And those small but perfect bits ended up being pretty influential after all!
The book Jim Henson: The Works by Christopher Finch is SUCH an amazing, inspirational read-- I recommend it highly! The story about Fraggle Rock is in there, as well as just so much other wonderfulness.
