To be a good storyteller one must be gloriously alive. It is not possible to kindle fresh fires from burned-out embers. I have noticed that the best of the traditional storytellers whom I have heard have been those who live close to the heart of things-to the earth, the sea, wind and weather.

They have come to know the power of the spoken word. These storytellers have been sailors and peasants, wanderers and fisherman.
