TO ALL THE GRANDFATHERS
and grandmothers who told while I listened;

And to Leonard, Eddie, Pat, Harold, Billy, Donnie & Junior, David & Tommy, Bobby, Gerald & Herbie - all clean and ready for bed, who sat around the big warm fireplace at Small Boy's House one cold winter-time listening while I told;

TO ALL TELLERS AND LISTENERSold and young, who discover what Tom Hunt meant when he said
"No, it'll not do just to read the old tales out of a bookYou've got to tell 'em to make 'em go right."
