I am so grateful in two ways, my oldest son who is 8 tries very hard at school but acadamically is not so good but as a person he is caring, gentle and sensitive and I would have it no other way. I also storytell on holiday schemes in my area which is Hampshire in the UK. I found the podcast informative and hugely interesting. Thank you so much. There is much onus on results also in the UK and not enough on stories being told in the UK. It seems from the few podcasts this is quite common in the States? Diane best of luck with the new book and thank you again and Eric Wolf. Carolyn Sharples Hi
