We’re back! Oh, it’s good to be back! After a summer break that lasted… well, a little bit more than expected, Alan and Simona get together to catch up, speak about the ‘Storytelling in Education – Global Online Conference’ that Simona co-organised with David Heathfield, and that Alan was a part of as a speaker, and to tell each other random stories that they’ve been working on! Simona tells a Roman myth, the story of ‘Pico and Canente’, which will make you look at woodpeckers in a different way from now on. Alan tells the very true story of ‘The hitchhiker’, and all together we will be shouting ‘But what was in the box?’ for the rest of our lives! Enjoy! A Cornucopia of Tales and Tellers is a passion project brought to you by English teachers Alan and Simona, who want to create a compilation - or cornucopia if you will - of stories from all around the world and by as many tellers from around the world as possible.  So grab a cup of tea, chai, water or uisce beatha, relax and enjoy hearing tales that have been handed down generations, or even ones that were dreamt up yesterday!
