BOOKS ABOUT STORY TELLING.

_Best sources:_

Bryant, S.C. How to tell stories to children.

One of the most practical and helpful books on the subject. Fine common-sense is used in all that is said on the purpose of story-telling, the selection of stories and how to adapt and to tell the story. Some specific uses of the story in the school room are given besides a graded collection of thirty-two stories and a short list of books in which the story teller will find stories not too far from the form in which they are needed.

Cowles, J.D. The art of story telling.

A useful elementary book. Contains about 50 stories in form suited to young children.

Lyman, Edna. Story telling; what to tell and how to tell it.

Story telling; what to tell and how to tell it. "The purpose of this book is not in any way to attempt to give information to those who have devoted both time and study to the subject or who have had practical experience in story telling, but rather to make a few suggestions to those mothers, teachers and librarians who are interested in its use as a phase of another occupation." The chapters on "Reading aloud to children" and "Arranging the program of miscellaneous stories" are particularly suggestive. Contains good outlines for cycle story hours for older children.

Olcott, F.J. Story telling poems.

There is an introduction addressed to the story-teller suggesting ways in which the poems may be used. The poems are indexed under such ethical subjects as courage, humility, etc.

_Other sources:_

Bryant, S.C. Stories to tell to children.

Fifty-one stories with some suggestions for telling. There is a clear statement of the value to the child of the type of story which specifically teaches a certain ethical lesson and also the kind of story that has no moral to offer. The author believes in telling one to three in favor of the latter kind. The book also contains a few principles underlying the dramatization of stories for young children.

Clemens, Samuel L. How to tell a story.

The different methods required in telling witty, comic and humorous stories.

Houghton, Mrs. L.S. Telling Bible stories.

The author aims to inspire mothers and teachers to use the Old Testament stories more freely in developing the religious nature of the child.

Chapters 4 and 5 are suggestive in regard to analyzing a story and the characteristics of a good story.

Partridge, E.N. _and_ G.E. Story telling in school and home.

A large part of the book is devoted to the use of the story in teaching language, history, nature study and to its place in moral education. There are 18 well chosen stories re-told from myths, legends, fables and history.

Ransome, Arthur. A history of story-telling; studies in the development of narrative.

The chapter on "Origins" deals with story-telling outside books.
