Margaret Read MacDonald

    Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald reist de wereld rond op zoek naar volksverhalen, die ze vormt tot gemakkelijk deelbare verhalen die gezinnen in verrukking brengen. Haar doel is om de vreugde van een prachtig verteld verhaal te verspreiden en luisteraars aan te moedigen apparaten weg te leggen en gewoon verhalen te vertellen. Haar achtergrond als kinderbibliothecaris en haar doctoraat in folklore informeren haar speelse en melodieuze vertelstijl.
