REVIEW

Wow! This site is the personal web presence for Cathy Spagnoli, storyteller. She has traveled across Asia in search of story. She has lived for a period of years in India. Her site is a wealth of information on Asian storyteller. The novice and experienced storyteller will gain insight from her suggestions and work. The owner who holds a MA in Arts Education and a BA in Arts and Children awarded with honors maintains the site. The site was last updated in June of 2002. I did not find any mention on why it has been a year. The site provides a link to contact information for Cathy. She also provides a short biograhy and her resume, which is impressive. I would consider the information authoritative and factual since it is about the site owner. There would be ways to check the award data listed, however, I am confident that she is telling the truth about her credentials. Some of her work is published and I even found her books in the Houston Public Library system. I found the information helpful and meaningful. I found the links working and she provides a wealth of information for everyone to include young writhers. She has ideas for warm up exercises and tips on presentation. The overall appearance of the site was pleasing providing a positive online experience.
