Chapter XIII: Part III: List of Stories. Books Suggested to the Story-Teller

AND BOOKS REFERRED TO IN THE LIST OF STORIES.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:--

I had intended, in this section, to offer an appendix of titles of
stories and books which should cover all the ground of possible
narrative in schools; but I have found so many lists containing
standard books and stories, that I have decided that this original
plan would be a work of supererogation. What is really needed is
a supplementary list to those already published--a specialized list
which is the result of private research and personal experience.
I have for many years spent considerable time in the British Museum
and some of the principal libraries in America. I now offer the
fruit of my labor.

I have included many stories which contain valuable ethical
teaching, deep philosophy and stimulating examples for conduct
in life. I regret that I have been unable to find a good
collection of stories from history for narrative purposes.
I have made a careful and lengthy search, but the stories
are all written from the _reading_ point of view rather
than the _telling_.

FOOTNOTES.

1. I venture to hope (at this long distance of years) that my language in telling the story was more simple than appears from this account.

2. This difference of spelling in the same essay will be much appreciated by those who know how gladly children offer an orthographical alternative, in hopes that one if not the other may satisfy the exigency of the situation.

3. See "List of Stories."

10. For further details on the question of preparation of the story, see chapter on "Questions Asked by Teachers."

11. Sully says that children love exact repetition because of the intense enjoyment bound up with the process of imaginative realization.

12. At the Summer School at Chautauqua, New York, and at Lincoln Park, Chicago.

14. From "Education of an Orator," Book II, Chapter 3.

15. One child's favorite book bore the exciting title of "Birth, Life and Death of Crazy Jane."

16. This does not imply that the child would not appreciate in the right context the thrilling and romantic story in connection with the finding of the Elgin marbles.

17. One is almost inclined to prefer Marjorie Fleming's little innocent oaths.

"But she was more than usual calm,
She did not give a single dam."

18. Published by John Loder, bookseller, Woodbridge, in 1829.

19. From "Literary Values."

20. A story is told of Confucius, who, having attended a funeral, presented his horse to the chief mourner. When asked why he bestowed this gift, he replied: "I wept with the man, so I felt I ought to _do_ something for him."

21. This experiment cannot be made with a group of children for obvious reasons.

22. From an address on "The Cultivation of the Imagination."

41. This is even a higher spirit than that shown in the advice given in the "Agamemnon" (speaking of the victor's attitude after the taking of Troy):

"Yea, let no craving for forbidden gain
Bid conquerors yield before the darts of greed."

42. It is curious to find that the story of Puss-in-Boots in its variants is sometimes presented with a moral, sometimes without. In the Valley of the Ganges it has _none_. In Cashmere it has one moral, in Zanzibar another.

48. In this matter I have, in England, the support of Dr. Kimmins, Chief Inspector of Education in the London County Council, who is strongly opposed to the immediate reproduction of stories.

49. These remarks refer only to the illustrations of stories told. Whether children should be encouraged to self-expression in drawing (quite apart form reproducing in one medium what has been conveyed to them in another), is too large a question to deal with in this special work on story-telling.

50. I give the following story, quoted by Professor Ker in his Romanes lecture, 1906, as an encouragement to those who develop the art of story-telling.

51. The melody to be crooned at first and to grow louder at each incident.

52. "The punishment that can most affect Merfolk is to restrict their freedom. And this is how the Queen of the Sea punished the Nixie of our tale."

53. The three stories from Hans Christian Andersen have for so long formed part of my repertoire that I have been requested to include them. I am offering a free translation of my own from the Danish version.

54. Alas! dear Augustin,
All is lost, lost!
