It is no good hoping to read all these books. However hard we may try, we can read only a few. So we must be careful in deciding what to read, for there are bad books as well as books really worth reading. We may read good novels., but most of our readng should be serious —science, technology, lives of great men, history an so on. If we get into the habit of reading earniestly and with a purpose when we are young, we shall be grateful for it all our lives.

So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of tim e,” he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively. Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence) storytelling in Wales. “It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.” Ambrose said.1.
