TALES OF FOOLS & WISE FOLK

This collection of stories, told at the twentieth anniversary of the National Association for the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling in Jonesborough, Tennessee, is as varied as the individuals who tell them. All the narrators speak clearly, differing in personal style, vocal quality and accents. One story, "The Squire's Bride," in particular, told by Heather Forest in a ballad/troubadour style, offers a dramatic contrast to the others. Some volume differences occur, probably due to the style of the recording. Fun, enjoyable and entertaining, this audio program is part of American culture captured for the enjoyment of all.
