Jim May is a storyteller who speaks in the natural, matter-of-fact style of the fathers, horse traders, and small-town raconteurs who populated rural McHenry County, Illinois where his family has lived since the 1940's.
For adult audiences, he tells original stories of growing up in the tiny Catholic farming community of Spring Grove.
For children he offers stories from traditional sources. These folk tales, myths, legends and ghost stories from various cultures worldwide have the humor and wisdom of the great tales that have been preserved in every culture and handed down orally from one generation to the next.
Jim May's stories have taken him across the United States and Europe. He has told at schools, corporations, professional groups, and festivals across the land. |
