Customer Reviews

A Storyteller's Delight

Sweet Land of Story provides excellent stories from the various regions of the U.S. The brevity of the stories makes it easy for a teller of tales to read, digest, and develop for telling. At the same time, the stories, as written, are delightful. The introductory remarks of each region gives an excellent insight to the people and cultures of those areas. As a teller, I am appreciative of this book as a source for new stories.
