Wanted to make a comment regarding John Crick and his amazing combination of hand-made puppets, singing shanties and about him entertaining a rapt audience of nearly 60 here at my bookshop in Oamaru, South
Island.
John gave a rousing, enchanting and whimsical presentation at the bookshop in May, poetry and music celebrating NZ wildlife and wilderness, and he was greeted warmly by a big crowd. That night we took up a koha (gift) for the Nepalese people, and ended up sending $692.50 to the Himalayan Trust to help with earthquake recovery. So wanted to make a big shout-out to John for his fine contribution. I would recommend his performance to everyone.
Many thanks for the review Bill. Wonderful atmosphere for stories, your place ~ The sled, the James Caird replica, and all those wondrous books gazing out at us, whispering, "SPIN US ANOTHER ONE, MATE!......Hey, it's good here with the mighty tribe, but one day I'd like to be dreaming with a family o' my very own...So c'mon, someone, take me HOME!"
Will hope to be back for another storytelling one day, Bill. All the best, John the Walrus Crick
