"Ashley Bryan is the
consummate storyteller - at one with his stories and possessing a seemingly effortless
command of the storyteller's craft. Rhythm, voice, and sound effects all blend
into a singular listening experience."
- AudioFile, April/May, 2004
"Bryan gives
a joyous performance of his work on this recording...this project capitalizes
on all the author's storytelling strengths. His enthusiasm and emphasis
on certain passages will quickly captivate young listeners."
- Publishers Weekly, 4/04
" Bryan
performs six stories from his published works on this rousing collection. Bryan's
tales come alive on the page with his stylized writing - and his delivery and
vocal performance are a perfect match. Bryan creates an irresistable folktale
experience."
