Note:
Tellabration was first organized in 1986 as a way of celebrating and promoting
the resurgence of the ancient art of oral storytelling by J.G. Pinkerton and the
Connecticut Storytelling Center. By 1990, official sites in Canada, Bermuda and Japan
had opened. In ten years, Tellabration had spread to 400 sites in 47 countries including
the US, Thailand, China, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Finland, several
Caribbean nations, Scotland and England. In 2000 India joined the family of nations
celebrating storytelling. There are now official sites on every continent except
Antarctica. It happens every November. See http://www.tellabration.org/.
