About the Author:

Whether recounting epics, trickster stories, or fairy tales, Diane Wolkstein enters and speaks from the heart of each story she tells. One critic said: "Diane is more than a storyteller. She is an interpretor of life." Throughout her 37 years as a storyteller, Diane has been known for her meticulous research as well as her great range as a performer. She is the author of more than twenty award-winning books of folklore, including The Magic Orange Tree and Other Haitian Folktales and Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth (co-authored with Samuel Noak Kramer). She teaches mythology at New York Univerity and gives workshops on storytelling worldwide.
