I recalled what were the earliest legends that we where told in day school and Sunday school during our earliest years. These are the stories that have stood the telling over some 4,000 years with an appeal across various faiths and none. The inspiration in my case is the Christian Bible which is where the original tale is to be read. I have used my imagination to enrich the saga with contemporary language. Hearing them now they again appeal to children and to the "child within all of us". I invite you to hear once more the Bible Stories of - Creation, The Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark and the Flood, The Tower of Babel, Abraham and Isaac, Joseph and his Dreams and more over the coming weeks. Listen to the stories:
