Brief description:
Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald travels the world telling stories and looking for more great tales to share. After over 30 years as a children's librarian, and with a Ph.D. in Folklore from Indiana University, MacDonald now spends her time offering storytelling workshops and telling stories in schools and at festivals in such delightful spots as Kota Kinabalu, Songhkla, and Penang. Raised in Southern Indiana, MacDonald still hears the voice of her grandpa when she tells stories. She now lives in Seattle, where she directs the PowellsWood Storytelling Festival (http: //youtu.be/vBIBrofWq0A). Her down time is spent on the deck of her Guemes Island cabin. MacDonald is the author of over 60 books on storytelling and folklore topics. See her website for more: www.margaretreadmacdonald.com
