STORYTELLING WITH AUTOHARP

by FRAN STALLINGS

"The Little Rooster and the Sultan"
"Shingebiss & the North Wind"

originally published in Autoharp Quarterly, October* 1991

about these stories...

"The Little Rooster and the Sultan" is a Hungarian folktale popular with storytellers. My main source was Magyar Fairytales from Old Hungarian Legends (Nandor Pogany, NY: Dutton 1930.) Other versions are in Twenty Tellable Tales (Margaret Reed MacDonald, H. W. Wilson 1986) and Twenty-Two Splendid Tales toTell Vol. I (Pleasant deSpain, Seattle: Merril Court Press 1990).

"Shingebiss & the North Wind" is based on a Chippewa legend (Wisconsin Lore for Boys & Girls by Susan B. Davis: E.M. Hale 1931) I have made some changes from the traditional version, in addition to adding the music.

Both tales are public domain but my particular retellings are ©1991. I invite you to learn and tell them. Please remember where you got them and mention my name! (To record or broadcast these versions, please contact me for written permission.) ENJOY!
