We came together with the pur- pose of telling our stories and reflecting on the use of narrative. We would like to acknowledge the organisation Inter-Disciplinary.Net (1999–2016) and the fa- cilitators of the conference, Gavin and Susan Fairbairn, for bringing us togeth- er and for facilitating such an inspiring event. The memories and friendships made there will last a lifetime. We gratefully acknowledge the support of Brill publishers and the wonder- ful Bram Oudenampsen, without whom this book would not have been pos- sible. Most of all, we thank the people who have contributed to the stories in each chapter, the authors; their research participants; and research funders. Together the chapters form an eclectic collection of stories; research into sto- rytelling; and reflections on story as a research methodology from across the world, showcasing the variety of ways in which narratives are so fundamental to our lives. A special thank you goes to the young artist who designed the front cover: Lauren Larmour is an art school graduate and newly qualified teacher who has creatively interpreted the contents of this book in her unique style. As editor-in-chief for this book, Tracy Ann Hayes, I would like to offer a per- sonal and heartfelt thank you to my co-editors, Theresa Edlmann and Laurinda Brown, who so kindly agreed to join me on this venture. I thank you for your patience, commitment to the book and above all for your honesty. You have been a joy to work with.
