Marilyn A. Kinsella
From the bluffs of the Mississippi to the wind-swept prairie, comes Taleypo the Storyteller. Her stories will be sure to make you laugh or cry or think or, maybe...see yourself. Since 1981, Marilyn Kinsella has been telling stories "from nursery schools to nursing homes." Her stories are as varied as her audiences. Come sit by her fire. Who knows...perhaps, Coyote or Anansi will come for a visit.
