Bonus: Bold and Inspiring Tales

Author Carey Wallace joins host Karen Wright Marsh to talk about her fabulous new book, Stories of the Saints: Bold and Inspiring Tales of Adventure, Grace and Courage.

They slew dragons, led armies, and talked with animals.  From martyrs and healers to scholars and shepherds, Carey Wallace tells the riveting stories of seventy best-loved saints in her children’s book that appeals to all ages, with splendid illustrations that bring saints both familiar and obscure to life.  Karen and Carey explore the difference between fairy tales, myths and hagiography, talk about what kids truly want in a story, and trade favorite tales.

Guest Carey Wallace is the author of The Blind Contessa’s New MachineThe Ghost In The Glass House, and a choose-your-own-adventure novel called Choose. She grew up Quaker in small Michigan towns, and now lives and writes in Brooklyn.
