Stories

Here are some of my favorite stories, some of the first stories I learned to tell and stories easy for you to learn and tell. Check back often for new stories! Send me some of your stories and poems and I might post them here for others to enjoy; simple clip and paste them into Contact Fox. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find a few MP3 files you can listen to from a few of my CDs.

Fox is now writing stories for a wonderful web site, Saint Francis Garden. They have now published several stories Saint Francis and the Birds, The Saint Francis Fountain, and Saint Francis and the Wolf. I have recently added a few Christmas stories to this wonderful web page Christmas Night Inc.! The first is the story of the first nativity, Saint Francis and the Manger. The second is an essay on Santa Kneeling at the Alter and the third one explores some of the characters you might meet in a Nativity Set, Who is Welcome in His House.
