Tellers & Tales ~ About Our Library ~ Submissions
In the beginning there were no stories.
Were no questions. Were no answers.
But with people came the questions.
They came asking, "How is this?
Tell us so we'll understand."
So the most expressive minds,
Made the answers to the questions.
Made the answers in a story.
Simple stories for the people.
Something they would understand.
Simple stories, last for ever.
Passing on from one and all.
Answering eternal questions
In a pure and simple form.
So it was folktales were born.

About Our Library Many of the stories in these collections are actual living folktales. They are the stories storytellers share today. You be the teller. By reading them aloud, you give the stories back the life they lost when they became words on paper. By all means, feel free to use your own words. True folktales stay alive by changing with the telling. The copyrights protects the stories from unscrupulous persons trying to claim the stories or making a profit reproducing them. It is not meant to limit the telling. We love these stories and want them shared. We also want to hear from the people who share them. Write to us and let us know how the stories work for you. Pax, Papa Joe

Our Library Submissions Our Goal was to maintain a record of current folk tales and to make those tales available for all people. At this time we are not accepting any new submissions to our library. Our Library is currently comprised of "Living Folktales": A story currently being told without restrictions on retellings by other tellers, except that it may not be reproduced in any format, written or electronic, as defined by current copyright laws. In other words: A story they tell that others may tell. The source of these stories may be original or public domain.
