Mitchell's album is an entertaining journey into storytelling; an introduction for those old and young alike. I think though that this was recorded some years ago, as seeing Mitchell performing is more than entertainment, it's like finding the stepping stones to your soul. And the kids love it! In performance Mitchell shares folktales from all over the world; very interactive tellings that embrace people from all different cultures. I've only seen Mitchell perform live in Australia a few times, but each time has been wonderful! I'm really looking forward to his next album being produced; according to his mailing list sometime in 2002...All the best, and I highly recommend this album!
