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.

Keyes, A.M. Stories and story-telling.

The author is head of the Department of English in the
Brooklyn Training School for Teachers. Besides a discussion
of method and theory the book contains about 75 stories,
including a good selection of short stories suitable for
young children to reproduce.

MacClintock, P.L. Literature in the elementary school.

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.

St. John, E.P. Stories and story telling in
moral and religious education.

A book on methods written from a sane point of view. At the
end of each chapter are many quotations from such authors as
G. Stanley Hall, Felix Adler, Froebel, and George Adam Smith,
and also a bibliography.

Wyche, R.T. Some great stories and how to tell them.

Emphasis is laid upon the psychological principles and the
spiritual equipment in telling stories. The epic stories of
Siegfried, Beowulf and Ulysses are given prominence with a
retelling of Beowulf and four stories from King Arthur. One
chapter is devoted to the "Story teller's league" and its
work.
