STORY
"Rag Doll"
Teller: Connie Regan-Blake (Story and Narration)
It's our mid summer special. While the Librarian has everyone busy doing inventory at the Library, we dig deep into the Library's secret archives and pull out a tale told by one of America's best known professional storytellers, Connie Regan-Blake.
It's a tale that starts right here in Pittsburgh, PA and heads down into Rich Bottles Jr. Territory - West Virginia. A teacher moves south to take a job and gets more than she bargained for. Sit back and relax and listen to "Rag Doll".
See Connie at the Three Rivers Storytelling Festival www.3rstf.org this weekend (August 7th & 8th 2015)!
