The Tales I've Told

By Ted Fink

The Tales I've Told is a compelling collection of original stories told by world-class story artist, Ted Fink, who takes us through many journeys-true adventures-from fighting in the back streets of Philadelphia to drinking and singing with a chieftain in a remote fishing village of the Dominican Republic.These stories have been tested and honed in performances at theaters, festivals, and cafes, and they vary in texture and pace. One story regales the reader with memories of a beloved Bassett Hound, while another takes him through the defense of an innocent Black man accused of a crime, and still another set at the turn of the century presents the heartbreaking viewpoint of a young girl wrongly seduced by a pedophile.Past experiences of growing up in Philadelphia and teaching in the inner-city's schools; nine guys getting lost at sea during a violent storm; treasure hunting, and the desperate search in every corner of the globe for a huge mythical body of Anguilla Rostrata (American eel) . . . all of these tales come to life not only through the printed word, but also through audio and videos. And that's what makes this collection truly unique-it's an authentic multimedia production!Influenced by Rudyard Kipling and Robert Service, Fink presents some of these stories through poetry, others through straight prose. By simply clicking a link, you'll be able to hear ten of the stories told by Fink himself, or watch three that have been made into videos, and you'll come to understand how the author has interpreted his own tales!Read the story! Hear the story! See the story! The Tales I've Told is unlike any other collection of short stories you've ever read. They're sure to make you laugh, gasp, or cry. But most of all, they'll make you glad you've visited the wonderful storytelling world of Ted Fink.Enjoy!
