Tales for our Times
Marrakech Storytelling Festival
In this episode I give updates from the Marrakech International Storytelling Festival and share two short stories from the region.
The stories are of a character famed through the Arab world, the wise fool, often known as Hodja, or the Mullah Nasruddin, but in North Africa he is known as 'Djoha'.
I recently told one of these stories at a school in the Atlas Mountains to the delight of many school pupils.
