This review is from: The Tailor of Gloucester [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What a pity this version of "The Tailor of Gloucester" is not currently available. Narrated by Lynn Redgrave with much English Christmas and Beatrix Potter lore included, this musical staging starring Ian Holm as the tailor is utterly enchanting.
