Bio / Background
From Diane Donovan, Editor & Senior Review of Bookwatch, Midwest Review: "...read by eight talented actors and covering tales from Africa to Scotland...over 70 minutes of vivid description pack a fine gathering which will be a ‘must' for folktale collections for any age group.

From John Wood's Kidzmusic.com:
“Twice-told-tales never told better- the talent is first-rate from top to bottom. The stories literally jump off the CD and into the listener’s imagination – I love the choices on all levels! This is the real deal.”
From a Librarian at The American International School in Vienna:
"...Tell Me a Story is an enjoyable extension to the newspaper column that kids, parents and educators have enjoyed for years." Tracy Games McCafferty, Vienna, Austria
From Christine Gerber Rutt, Librarian, Switzerland:
“...the talent is first-rate from top to bottom. The stories literally jump off the CD and into the listener’s imagination..

"...Bring this delightful CD along for a ride, or plan a once upon a time evening at home..." Bobbie Combs and Laurina Cashin, We Love Children's Books, Parents' Express Magazine.
from Amy Davis's The Lovely Mrs. Davis Tells You What To Think, November 19, 2006 and CoolMompicks.com:
"...When I got Tell Me A Story...earlier this month, it was a kind of breath of fresh air. As the title suggests, it's a storytelling album. But it's better than some anonymous, mellow, relaxation-tape kind of voice reading Peter Rabbit, which is what comes to mind (for me) when I think of a storytelling album...these are definitely not "bore your kids to sleep" stories...
From School Library Journal, October '06:
"...A wonderful listening experience."
