In June 1965, 28-year-old Jim Henson started a written log of his activities in what became known as “The Red Book.” He noted down what had happened up until that point (deemed “Ancient History”) and then recorded anything that he felt was worth recording as single line journal entries until the end of 1988.

Jim Henson rarely got sick, so when he got the flu in 1985, it was remarkable enough to note in his journal. Anything that kept him away from work merited a mention.
