"Ingrid is an excellent teller .... She is funny, elegant, handles personal experience stories with a lot of humor, as well as pathos, and makes folktales quirky and relevant to modern lifetime situations."
"Ingrid's stories take you from the twisted heart of Grimm's dark tales to the open heart of sibling rivalry to the roiling stomach trying to keep its cookies on twisting decks of ships bound for the Antarctic.
This massive breadth of material is offered with a keen eye to detail, a deep appreciation that irony is the driving force of the universe, and an uncanny ability to take you all of these places, like a friend, traveling with her."
"Ingrid is a natural-born storyteller. Her voice and skills offer up a taste of folk tradition seasoned with contemporary flavors, a feast for the ear!"
