A fine conclusion

Looking for a fine Irish tale for March and found this wonderful ending to a tale:

"And in troth, girls and boys, though it's a diverting story, I don't think the moral is good; and if any of you thuckeens go about imitating Anty in her laziness, you'll find it won't thrive with you as it did with her.  She was beautiful beyond compare, which none of you are, and she had three powerful fairies to help her besides.  There's no fairies now, and no prince or lord to ride by, and catch you idling or working; and maybe, after all, the prince and herself were not so very happy when the cares of the world or old age came on them."

 

Wintertelling 2024

This free annual concert of stories for adults (and teens) is an afterhours tradition at the Monroe County  Public Library.

The library is a long time sponsor of this event, held in the auditorium after the library itself is closed.  The Kirkwood Avenue doors will be opened at 6:30 and the performance begins at 7 pm

Eight experienced tellers will each present a tale chosen to delight, edify, and entertain you.  Expect a good variety of stories: personal narrative, folklore, modern fairytales, fables, a song-story, even a bit of poetry!

Some folks enhance the evening with dinner downtown, some stay after the program to chat with the tellers, some are inspired to tell their own stories.  Enjoy the evening in your own way!
