Janice Del Negro part two

Janice Del Negro is a bit of a hero in the world of storytelling. She teaches is at Dominican University, where she is a professor, subjects such as storytelling, children's and young adult literature and foundations of library and informations services. I have been following Janice for a while, and love her work and over COVID-19 time have got to know her better. We first met years ago, but we rarely saw each other.

Why folks tales? "True love and money is what everyone wants." Another quote about folk and fairy tales from Janice: "People yearn for justice." In this episode Janice goes into her process and shares the making of a couple of stories and a line she started with, a line she came up with for the story - the last line of the tale: "Seven brides you have sent to the bottom of sea, and now you will be bride groom to them all."

I hope you get as much from this as I did!
