In this hour, you'll enjoy stories fantastical and foreign (as well as a few stories athat feel like home).  You'll hear Laura Simms with a Belarusian folk tale about Animals and their tails (call it an Animal "Tail" if you like). YOu'll hear Charlotte Blake Alston with a story about Mantis and his bid to be a god. You'll hear Waddie Mitchell with a little poem about working to do things right the first time, as second chances are harder to come by than they might seem. You'll hear Antonio Sacre with a miracle tale about the building of a church to the Virgen of Guadalupe. You'll hear a Ukrainian folka tale about a dragoness from Margaret Read Macdonald, and finally a wonderful performance of an Anansi story by the terrific teller Amina Blackwood-Meeks. It's a trip around the world with the Apple Seed as your guide!
