It’s time for The Apple Seed! Some time just about every day filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we’ve been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. Today you’ll get a few personal tales, a folk tale, and a fairy tale to wrap it all up. You’ll hear Lani Peterson tell about the moment that made her a storyteller, and you’ll hear Dolores Hydock’s experience with a high school dance where she hoped to find her “Perfect Match.” Priscilla Howe will bring us an Anansi story about the clever spider, the tricks he plays, and the tricks others play on him! Finally you’ll hear Beatrice Bowles with a fairy tale about an old woman who lived in a vinegar bottle. You won’t want to miss a word!
