Album Notes

The classic story recorded at the 92nd Street Y in New York City has been remastered for the digital age and a new generation of listeners.

\"In the stories she tells, Wolkstein reaches deeply into the treasures of world mythology. Her voice is often that of an ancient Greek chorus, intoning a wisdom that lies almost silent in the collective human consciousness... Her storytelling is both classical and primitive in its appeal.\" — Belden C. Lane, The National Storytelling Journal.

\"Wolkstein\'s rendition infuses the listener with the intense experiences of Joseph\'s joys, sufferings, sorrows and rejoicings.\" — Catholic World.

This interweaving of oral legends and Biblical text is recommended for all ages and religious backgrounds.

Diane Wolkstein\'s lively performances invite audience participation. She gives workshops throughout the world on storytelling and is the author of 23 books, including \"The Magic Orange Tree\" and her most recent film \"A Storyteller\'s Story\". http://www.dianewolkstein.com
