There is no greater joy than to look into the eyes of a child as they hear the words, "Once upon a time..."
Celebrate the warm humor gathered from generations of mountain living with Stephen Hollen.\
Listen to folk tales, Jack tales and mountain wisdom. Hold your sides and laugh at onery tales from the Liar’s Bench.
You’ll find yourself smiling and may even find a tear in your eye over the bittersweet memories
of the simple way of life lived by the folks of Eastern Kentucky. Stephen’s stories will
entertain, teach and encourage. Whether it is a small circle of children or a large audience,
Stephen Hollen will reach across the empty space and touch the hearts of his audience.
So, sit back and close your eyes as Stephen spins yarns that open a magical door to a place
where the mist forever rises from deep in the valley and creeps up the hillside filled with
dogwood and mountain laurel.
As Dad to three children, Stephen brings the understanding and wisdom of a parent to the
storytelling circle. He has stepped into the story circle...and the imagination of children of all
ages in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee.
