Tom Derksen
Wisdom of the World
Inspirational and fun stories from all over, that collectively represent the Wisdom of the World. Told by Tom Derksen - anthropologist and storyteller from the Netherlands who travelled to over 70 countries and lived in 11 countries in Asia, Africa, North and South America and Europe. All the stories told are old stories, told and retold by storytellers, sometimes collected in a book. As they are old stories there is no form of copyright. All stories told are in the English language and are made available for free. A new story will be added every week, and maybe more often.
