have thoroughly revised and updated their award winning
Children Tell Stories in a new

An accompanying DVD brings the entire process to life, following the progress of
third graders as they learn stories, cope with their fears, and master their

Beauty & the Beast
Storytellers
Author Bios:
Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss, who live in
Ithaca, New York have been performing together professionally as Beauty &
the Beast Storytellers at schools, libraries, coffeehouses, museums,
festivals, and conferences throughout the United States and Canada since
1980. They leave it to their audiences to decide which one is the Beauty and
which the Beast.
Martha, formerly a reference librarian at Cornell university, began telling
stories as a hobby after she mistakenly walked into a storytelling workshop
while attending a library conference. She was eventually introduced to
Mitch by a friend who told her, “Mitch may not know it, but he’s a
storyteller." Mitch had majored in government as a student at Cornell,
a field which some have jokingly commented seems "perfect for a
storyteller.” At the time he was one of the owners/workers at the
cooperatively run Moosewood Restaurant, an Ithaca landmark because of its
best-selling vegetarian cookbook.
Martha and Mitch have also written
four of our Books for Young Learners
