I am a Chinese student who loved story teller so much that I had collected Story Teller 1 & 2 from London. The process of collecting the two volumes was a very expensive experience. I went all the way from China to UK just for the collection of Story Tellers. I should say STORY TELLER is the most attractive books I have collected till now, they have lives and they can speak, talk to me like an old friend..
Wow, that’s truly amazing! I know Story Teller is loved all over the world but your story is one of the most interesting stories I’ve heard so far. I am the owner of this website and I would very much love to write an article about your passion for Story Teller. Would you be willing for me to do that? 🙂
Hi I’m in China and I’m trying to collect the series too, but no luck yet. If you see this and if it is ok, can you email the contacts that you’ve got them from? Many thanks.
