From the Hartford, Courant: Born in a small English village "where children were seen, but never heard," Munro said this is how she learned the important arts of listening and watching. "I was fascinated by the power of the individual voice." Munro's career as a professional storyteller has included appearances as a feature teller at the National Storytelling Festival in historic Jonesborough, Tennessee; the Connecticut Storytelling Festival in New London; and R. J. Julia Booksellers in Madison. Other performances include Madison Lyric Stage.
"Brings us inside the mind of a delightful child, living in a
quirky world that we are eager to explore, populated by fascinating
and eccentric characters, as told with a fresh, witty, and
authentic voice. This is exactly the magic that we hope for in a
collection of growing-up stories!" --Doug Lipman, author of The
Storytelling Coach
"These stories are witty and charming, just like Ms. Munroe
herself. Curl up with these stories and perhaps a cup of tea, to
pass an enchanted afternoon, or chuckle yourself to sleep of an
evening."
-- "Jim May, Emmy Award winner, storyteller, and author of Trail
Guide for a Crooked Heart"
"Unerringly witty, joyfully droll stories of an English childhood
from a beloved American story writer and spoken word artist."
-- "Carol Birch, storyteller and former Westchester County NY
librarian"
