On a recent visit to an obscure African village, he was invited to a community-wide afternoon break at which elders told traditional Anansi stories and everyone else listened intently.

Award-winning storyteller Bobby Norfolk brings his talents to six traditional stories. A mixture of classic stories and lesser-known folktales, these are all performance-tested audience favorites…

Throughout history, traditional cultures have recognized the role of storytelling in teaching values to children. Yet most educators have not fully capitalized on the connection between storytelling, folktales, and character education.
