See this before the library burns down

July 20, 2012

Taffy Thomas is one of the world’s great story tellers. If ever you are in Grasmere in the English Lake District pop in and see him at The National Storytelling Centre. Whilst touring with The Fabulous Salami Brothers Taffy had a stroke at the age of 36. Unable to speak he turned to storytelling as a form of speech therapy and taught himself to speak again. Since then he has collected more than 300 stories, tales and elaborate lies which he keeps in his head. They say that when Taffy dies it will be the equivalent of a library burning down.

Head off to Grasmere if you can.

Have a curious day.
