Sarah Law has been sharing stories at fairs and festivals, museums, libraries and schools for over ten years. She particular likes telling stories in the shade of a great beech tree, but is looking forward to launching into the ether on Zoom.
Story sources:
The Monkey and the Crocodile
Based on A.K. Ramanujan’s retelling of an ancient Indian folktale first recorded in the Pancatantra.
The King with the Dirty Feet
This story was written by Sally Pomme Clayton and is her retelling of an old Bengali Folktale ‘The King and the Cobbler’. I discovered this wonderful tale in a collection of stories from around the world which you might enjoy. It’s called ‘Tales for Telling’ and contains stories collected by another great storyteller, Mary Medlicott.
