Tell Me A Story 2: Animal Magic "...if all
the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit....All things are connected like the blood which unites
one family."
Sealth, Chief Seattle, 1854
"When we in our time talk of stories, tales, we often forget that for most of
human history, thousands of years--tales were told or sung. Reading came much later, is comparatively recent, and changed
not only our way of receiving tales, but also the actual machinery of our minds. The print revolution lost us our memories--or
partly."
Doris Lessing, Problems, Myths and Stories
London, 1999
