"With ease, he whisks one off to other lands and times. His stories are both entertaining and value-laden." Barbara Contreras - Recreation Coordinator
Fox began his career focusing on A World of Folklore, literally travelling the world collecting and telling tales for more than 35 years. With more than a dozen trips to Europe, several forays into Central America, and intensive workshops with traditional African and Asian storytellers, he has immersed himself in the cultures of the world to steep the folk tales in the milieu from which they arose.

"In an era when 'stories' means watching television to most teens, it was a joy to watch you open their eyes, ears, and hopefully minds to the richness of oral tradition." Lin Forrest - High School Media Specialist
Funding should never be an issue! Fox is on both the Illinois ArtsTour and Arts in Education rosters, so funding assistance is available through the Illinois Arts Council. Various characters have been chosen by the Illinois Humanities Council Roads Scholar Program and they will pay for any public performance in the state of Illinois! Schools can apply for funding through their PTA or PTO, or corporate partners. Smaller school districts can partner with neighboring districts to share travel expenses and fees. Book and CD sales can be used to raise funds. Community organizations can offset costs with ticket sales and by selling ads in the program. If funding is an issue please Contact Fox to discuss possibilities.
"All the adults and children were RAVING about your stories and they couldn't wait to share them with their friends and family." Stacy Veldhuizen - Girl Scout Leader
