Recorded Story

Anne Nagy has been been sharing stories, not only in Canada, but overseas as well. This particular story was recorded at a live telling at the Swap on a Thursday night at the Library and Archives of Canada. I asked Anne if I might record the story. Anne said yes, and explained that this was based on an old American tall tale that had then been worked over by a writer, which had been modified by herself.

The story of Harry Hooper (runs 12:51).

On the following Tuesday I found myself downtown in the market at the Tea Party nibbling on a scone, drinking tea, and listening to two fine tellers, Jennifer Cayley and Jacques Falquet. Tea leads to conversation, and that led to an interview...

StoryTeller profiles

Mary Wiggin

Renowned for her exquisite sense of language, Mary is a subtle master of the literary tale. Her wit flashes with quicksilver humor; her insight unveils hidden truths in poetic turns of phrase. She favours folktales and fairytales with strong heroines and sound plots, but her listeners should be ready for some surprises. Her rock-solid, no-nonsense delivery style is the perfect set-up for the uncanny and the fantastic.

Mary has told in many venues including the Fourth Stage, the Tea Party, the Ottawa Storytelling Festival and Rasputin's Cafe. She tells mainly for adults in many venues.
