This sequel to Wind of a Thousand Tales was premiered the following year by West Coast Repertory with similar acclaim. "This time around, we find Kimberly-Kay up in the attic of her home after an argument with her dad. Before long she's dreaming up little tales which—stitched together into an hour-long comic drama— provide a tapestry of ideas that helps her understand her father's anger, and her love for him...dazzlingly clever, entertaining theater...Glore's script is as sparkling and real as a hushed conversation between best friends."—Los Angeles Times

Kimberly-Kay Copernicus first took the stage as the heroine of John Glore's Wind of a Thousand Tales, in which she went on a journey to find an imagination. Whisked away by magical Breezes to the land of Nowhere, this skeptical "child of tomorrow" listened as the Breezes told three stories gathered on their travels around the world. These folktales from faraway places taught Kimberly-Kay how informative and enjoyable stories can be, and how true.

Folktales Too brings the return of Kimberly-Kay and includes a new assortment of folktales, this time from across America. Unlike Wind of a Thousand Tales, in which each of the tales was told separately, this sequel weaves its tales together into one epic story told by Kimberly-Kay herself. You may not always know when one tale is over and another begins, but by the end of the play you will have encountered six different stories.

You will recognize some of the elements of these tales. It turns out that just as most Americans have their roots in other lands, most American folktales do too. So if the tale of Corizelda and her father reminds you at times of a story told by William Shakespeare, that's because both are descended from a European folktale as old as the hills. The story of poor Tom and his soap also has a European ancestor, as does Crazy Jake's rambling adventure with old Brindle. In fact, perhaps the only native American folktale to be found in the play is the story of Pumah, the Indian, originally told by Indians in old California—the first Americans.—adapted from the program for the premiere production of Folktales Too, South Coast Repertory, May, 1989.

The script calls for folk songs to be sung along with or as background to the action. Guitar/Vocal scores for the songs are included in the playbooks. Other folk songs may be added. The set is essentially a bare stage—the attic of a home. A large amount of empty space is required for the stories to have breathing room. A wide variety of costumes may be used, from tattered and patched peasant clothing to fanciful dress for the nobility and dancers. No specific period is intended or indicated; the play takes place in the imagination of a nine-year-old girl in whose mind a character from "long ago" might wear something from the 1500's or 1950's.

"Appropriate for ages 5 and older"—Parenting Magazine. "This exceptionally fine play stirs the imagination and presents high-energy adventure." —Plays for Children and Young Adults.
