Tuesday, June 21, we heard the last five of our second set of stories. Faye Daniel got us started with the 80th story we've heard this month.
16. (80) Faye told the eerie story of The Black Dog from Eddie Lenihan's Meeting the Other Crowd.
17. (81) Andrea Robinson told a very well crafted version of The King with Donkey's Ears that she put together from several sources.
18. (82) Bryan Jagiello told John Broadson adn the Police Officer from Henry Glassie's Irish Folktales, a perfrect match for his temperment.
19. (83) Kayla Linn took great pleasure in telling us The Priest and the Farming Man, also from Glassie.
20. (84) Shelli Curtis gave us a bravura performance of The Man Who Was Rescued from Hell, from Sean O'Sullivan's Folktales of Ireland. I was very glad she chose it, since it was collected from Peig Sayers who we were studying during the last week of class. She had us all spellbound during her 20 minute telling. The picture shows Shelli as the brave and tireless woman speaking to Jesus as she brings the souls out of hell.
