Editorial reviews

World Tales of Wisdom and Wonder is an enchanting selection of poetic folk tales set in the far flung, magical corners of the globe that are beautifully spun, brightly sung, and sweetly strummed by veteran storyteller/songwriter/troubadour, Heather Frost.

The imaginative fables comprised in this collection such as, “The Dancing Lass of Anglesey”, and “The Tiger, The Brahman, and The Jackal”, will captivate the ears of curious young listeners.

The sequel to Wonder Tales From Around The World , a 1996 Storytelling World Honor Recording Award, World Tales of Wisdom won the same honor again in 2003.

Publisher's Summary

World Tales of Wisdom and Wonder is a collection of folktales told in a weave of poetry, prose, original melody, and guitar. Drawn from cultures around the globe, these colorful tales offer a leap into fantasy and some homespun wisdom passed down through the oral tradition.
