What would happen if we collected together a bank of traditional tales so that children became familiar with stories from European culture and cultures all around the world? They would build up a huge resource inside of themselves arising from many cultures. How much that would enrich them as human beings! This led me into the series of Storyteller.” Pie Corbett, Literacy expert
