Storytelling is man's oldest form of entertainment. Although we rely on television and print media for much of our storytelling in modern times, almost every culture in the world has a strong history of oral storytelling. Children still make an almost magical connection with stories and there is no greater sight than a group of children, sitting totally engrossed in a story, picturing the characters and waiting eagerly to see what will happen next.This book will help teachers, parents and other storytellers to bring folktales alive. Storytelling needs no experience and no materials. The children will be eager to change the stories, play with them and retell them again and again.Telling Tales contains 18 ready-to-tell stories from around the world, with notes to help with telling the tale, including the audience in the story and arranging follow-up activities.I hope this book will also give readers the confidence to search their own cultures for forgotten tales and stories that they can share and bring alive!
