Winds of change are in the air, whether rushing in like a lion or playful as a lamb, sweeping out the old and ushering in the new. Tales of either are welcome as we usher in spring in this Guid Crack session, with guest storyteller Beth Cross.
Beth comes by her love of storytelling honestly, having learned her first stories by her grandmother’s side, sitting on the porch swing of the family farmhouse. An accomplished performer, having appeared on television and radio in the United States and festivals on both sides of the Atlantic, Beth has an interest in and wealth of folktales located at the Scottish Lowlands and Borders, with an emphasis on exploring environmental themes and the long relationship reflected between humankind and nature in folklore.
