Just like the stories she tells, Linda’s career as a storyteller started with a story. Years ago in Shanghai, China, a teacher who wanted to help a ten-year old girl overcome her shyness handed her a book and said, “Go and read the story, my child. Come back tomorrow and see if you can tell it to me.” That launched Linda Fang’s career as a storyteller. She began telling stories, went on to win storytelling competitions, and eventually became a professional storyteller who delights hundreds of children and adults every day.
Enriched by her experience of growing up in China, Linda tells stories she collects from Chinese folktales, historical anecdotes, oral traditions, and Chinese opera. Her captivating storytelling style is seen in her unusual ability to engage her audiences at various levels, to draw them into the stories, and keep them there. Instead of hearing a story, the listeners are ushered in the magic world to witness the story unfold. |
