Hare and Tortoise
Children's Illustrations, 1880 |
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://tinyurl.com/llnn47y .
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. Please feel free to comment on the blog and let
me know if you find this useful.

Ramadan in 2012 will begin on Saturday, July 21
and will continue for 30 days until the end of Ramadan on Sunday, August 19. * The Islamic calendar is lunar and the days begin at sunset, so
there may be one-day error depending on when the New Moon is first seen.
Ramadan is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and
submissiveness to God. Below are some
stories to celebrate Ramadan.
