About the Four Skillful Brothers

Where would a person learn to tell a fairytale in a way that does not simply present a meaning, but also awakes meaning in a child's heart? This contemplation reveals, in profound depth, a rare view of the storyteller's art.

Any parent or teacher of young children will benefit immensely by traveling with this master storyteller

Rudolf Geiger became known for storytelling fairytales at conferences of the European Fairy Tale Society. He has fascinated young and old on many journeys since his retirement. In 1990, he won the Fairy Tale Prize of the "Märchenstiftung Walter Kahn."

Ruth Pusch, born Ruth Barnett, was raised in New Haven, Connecticut. After a period of time spent in Dornach, Switzerland, as a student of spiritual science, she married the actor Hans Pusch in 1932 while in the U.S. Together, they returned to Dornach, where Ruth studied eurythmy with some of the pioneers of that new art form. She later taught eurythmy in New York City and was an early teacher at the Waldorf School New York City. She and her husband were also active in bringing the anthroposophic impulse to the dramatic arts in North America. Along with Hans, Ruth Pusch also helped translate Rudolf Steiner's four mystery plays.
