Veronica (Ronnie) Cunningham reads "A Child's Christmas in Wales"

Veronica (Ronnie) Cunningham reads Dylan Thomas'  "A Child's Christmas in Wales” 

Born 1938 in Bristol, England, of Welsh parents, Ronnie lived in Bristol until 1946 when her brother Michael and she were sent to London to live with their Dad and her stepmother.  She attended Montem Street Elementary School and, after taking the 11 plus exam, went on to Highbury Hill High School in Islington for grammar school.

She came to the United States in1963 for a nurses' training program. While working for Harvard Libraries for 12 years she put herself through library school.   And, eventually to a post-graduate program at Columbia University, becoming a preservation librarian.

Ronnie has been been reading aloud since she can remember beginning to read. She began story-telling in Housatonic at In Words Out Words (IWOW) in 2002 on the first Tuesday of each month. She’s performed two large shows, in words and song, based on her childhood at the Stockbridge Congregational Church which raised funds for the restoration of the organ.
