Wendy Ballard from Greenpark School asked this question and the responses from others were very favourable...
"Hi there - Terry Sleator - alias bushman, poet, balladeer, storyteller from Opotiki area dropped in to introduce himself to me and I really liked his enthusiasm and bush/fishing/NZ theme - he is looking for bookings next year - he sets up a campsite with props like fire, axe and chopping block and launches into tales and poems - has anyone had him to their school and how did it go? - I am keen to book him for next year but at $2.50 a head I'd like to know other people's experiences first..."

I heard Tanya at the NZ Reading Association in Hamilton in 2008 and thought she was fantastic. I tried to organise her to be at our Storylines event but that didn't happen for various reasons.
