Who is J.G. Pinkerton?
J.G. "Paw-paw" Pinkerton, the creator of TELLABRATION!, "the Worldwide Night of Storytelling", is a world travelled, white-haired grandfather who tells all kinds of stories - personal experiences, Biblical and sacred stories, folktales, down-home humor, and old and original takes - for all ages, all occasions, anytime, anywhere. He has told stories across the United States and appeared in festivals in Australia and Ireland and told stories in Israel and Japan.
A Storyteller Extraordinaire!
"Paw-Paw" as he is affectionately called, can take a personal tale, a familiar folktale, or a literary story and make the story uniquely his."If the heart of storytelling is the honesty of the connection between the teller and listeners,
J.G.Pinkerton is the most successful storyteller in America."
says Kate McCelland, Assistant Director
and Head of Children's Services, Perrot Memorial Library, Old Greenwich, Connecticut.
