Hare and Tortoise by Milo Winter, 1919 |
I have penned the Stor E Telling
column since January of 2002 and the articles from 2002-2006 are the
publications page of my website found here http://www.storybug.net/stor-e-telling.html. I will be adding
the columns from 2007 to 2012 to that page as well. However, I am in the
process of checking what link URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is
a time consuming process so I am taking the “slow and steady” approach via Aesop and will post
the individual columns on my blog for now.
I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the National Storytelling Network.
May 1 is Mother Goose Day. These delightful rhymes can be
traced back to London in 1605 migrating to France then America. We may never
know if Mother Goose was real or fictitious but as in all things wonderful, she
has stood the test of time. I offer you some links to help celebrate the day.
