Stories aren't just for children! I'll tell stories for grownups and older kids (PG9) in my backyard for 45-60 minutes. This week? The Trickster Show (Bulgarian folktales and more).

Bring friends, chairs, bug spray if the mosquitoes are still out, drinks and snacks for yourselves, blankets if it's chilly. I provide the stories. I do have a few chairs, first come, first served.

Park on the street (don't block my neighbor's driveway, please).

I'll put out the tip jar, but it is absolutely not required.

Storytelling is low-tech fun!
