ABOUT OUR TELLERS:

Miriam H. Nadel has told folktales, personal stories, and original stories for 35 years. Some of her favorite venues have included the Washington Folk Festival, Better Said Than Done, a Hollywood art gallery, and a campground in the Empty Quarter of Oman. She collects hats, paper dolls, and stories about her more colorful relatives. All of her stories are true, whether or not they happened that way. More about Miriam

Margaret Chatham is a former children’s librarian, trained in New York Public Library style storytelling. Margaret emphasizes traditional folk tales and faithfully presented literary tales. This builds on her family's tradition of reading aloud, treasuring and quoting favorite authors’ words. Her other big storytelling influence was hearing The Folktellers (Barbara Freeman and Connie Regan) in November, 1975. Darn! had to wait nearly a year to experience the National Storytelling Festival. More about Margaret
