The Festival Goes National

Have you seen the CBS News story that featured the garden? At this year’s PowellsWood Storytelling Festival, CBS’ Serena Altschul interviewed our own Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald and various tellers about the power of the art. The segment appeared on CBS Sunday Morning on September 9, 2012.

“Whether it’s Mother Goose, the tales of the Brothers Grimm, even the parables of Christ,” says Altschul in the report, “you might say the human mind is hard-wired to respond to stories. In fact storytelling may be the oldest art form.”
