Editorial Reviews
About the Author
Maggi became a storyteller quite by chanceat a performance in 1972 she was asked to step into the shoes of an absent storyteller. She has become known for her matter-of-fact style of telling. Maggi speaks like someone conversing at a dinner table, peppering her telling with pithy asides. The flat vowels of her Northern Irish accent give little difficulty to most listeners; they are the true sounds of the stories she tells, stories that range from the Finn McCool giant legends to personal stories from her childhood in Belfast. She has a strong background in local Irish yarns flavored with legends and folktales.
From AudioFile
Maggi Peirce's tales of her Belfast childhood are a wonder. An Ulster Christmas, an especially heart-warming and amusing live recording, offers some new Christmas tales listeners will love to share during the holidays. Peirce's Irish lilt draws listeners into a different world. Yet the tales of holidays, family life and childhood have a ring of universality. Her people profiles, drawn from her own childhood, evoke a laugh and always a bit of folk wisdom. D.P.D. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
