Deaf Mary
A tale which shows it is possible for a husband and wife to live happily together
This is a story I first heard told by Billy Teare, a teller from Northern Ireland. Billy tells me it is an Ethiopian folk tale.
Told at the 4th International Festival, at a great gig in the landarthotel, Lindlar, Germany in 2011.
