TONY TOLEDO

Tony has been telling stories to pay his rent since the end of the twentieth century. Elementary students jump when he tells the Scary Hand. Adults jump when he tells The Bog. Everybody laughs when he tells The Coffin. Tony was presented The Brother Blue and Ruth Hill Award for his support of New England storytelling. Tony even bought his massive one tenth of an acre Beverly estate with his stories. At this estate he has just room enough for his basil, his books and his bicycle- with many shelves of storytelling books. Tony is 64 years old but he reads at a 72 year old level. Tony has never been arrested on his birthday. Or the Fourth of July. Or ever.
