About Victor Epp

Victor Epp Epp was born in rural Manitoba in 1935, he first moved to Winnipeg in 1942.Victor took every chance to spend time back in the country with relatives during school vacations. In days before electricity, good roads and so many other amenities we take for granted today, the lure of the country still drew him back in happy anticipation. Big stands of poplar trees with their leaves rustling in the breezes seemed to whisper secrets of the forest and all it�s mystery, filling his imagination.In 1976, he moved back on to his own acreage with his wife. Victor wanted to be close enough to commute to his city job. This place too had its poplar grove, which gave them many pleasurable hours. It was here that storytelling around a bond fire on warm summer nights became a habit.

As grandchildren came along and became curious about life, they would ask many questions and pose all sorts of situations that puzzled them. He found very quickly that by telling them stories from the distant past to address their questions, it would impress them far more than any advice or instruction he could have offered. Some of the stories are traditional and have been told time and time again. Others just appeared out of nowhere. Victor believes that sometimes the Silverfox whispers them to him through the trees if he happens to be listening. he became aware that he was in a sacred place where he had to walk quietly with respect. Victor also believes that there are spirits in such places that seem to speak to him. Other times he would look up at the night sky and get the feeling that he was not alone. And so, his heart and mind are filled with the gifts of stories from all time past, just waiting to be told to young and old alike. Translating and narrating the marvelous adventure tales of Karl May�s American west leaves Victor in the same state of mind. He magically becomes Old Shatterhand himself and is at home in the forests and deserts and mountains of his Wild West.
