About Marylyn Peringer:

Resident Instructor Marylyn Peringer joined the Toronto storytelling community over 40 years ago when she began sharing French-Canadian folktales and legends at local schools and at the 1,001 Friday Nights of Storytelling. Those stories, and many others which she added to her repertoire, have carried her into more than a thousand schools and libraries across Canada. She is grateful to Storytelling Toronto for the multiple awards which helped her in researching the traditional tales of her Maltese heritage and was delighted to have been chosen by Storytellers of Canada-Conteurs du Canada to record both French-Canadian and Maltese tales as the 2017 StorySave artist. Marylyn has taught with Storytelling Toronto for over twenty years and takes pleasure in knowing that many of her former students are accomplished tellers who contribute their talents to local and national storytelling organizations.
