About the Author
Patrick Ryan has worked as a teacher and professional storyteller for over twenty years. Now based in London, he regularly tours Britain, Europe and the US performing, lecturing and conducting a variety of workshops. Patrick has written for the BBC and has also actively participated in several major storytelling projects, among them 'Living Stories of the World', a multi-cultural workshop for primary children in inner and outer London. James Mayhew graduated from Maidstone College of Art with a first class honours degree in illustration. He has created many acclaimed picture books for children, and in 1994 received the New York Times award for one of the year's ten best-illustrated books with The Boy and the Cloth of Dreams. This is James' second title for Barefoot Books, joining The Barefoot Book of Stories from the Opera (1999).
From AudioFile
The interconnectedness of stories becomes food for thought in this collection of tales that might have been inspirational to William Shakespeare. On the recording, the stories stand on their own. For background about the tales, and about Shakespeare and circumstances at the time of his writing, one has to read the accompanying book. Patrick Ryan flavors each story with distinctive elements--the arrogance of a conniving water pixie who meets his match in "The Devil's Bet," the remorse of a father who has missed years of his daughter's life in "Cap o' Rushes," and the wiliness of a disguised lawyer in "A Bargain Is a Bargain."
