Q FOX AND THE -- THIS little book of stories is in part an attempt to furnish some fresh material for telling to chiidren of about six to ten years of age. None of the stories claims to be what is known as original. All are founded on legends and scraps of folk-lore or history. I have re-told them because I enjoyed them--one of the very best of good reasons for telling a story-in the hope that others will enjoy them also. The version of The Old Woman and the Pixies and the Tulips appears in print for the first time, as does also The Dog-Brother of the Order of St. John, though I have often told both at school-S and play-centres and as illustra- tions to lectures. The other eleven stories with their accompanying studies and comments have already appeared in the pages of Child Education. Now, as to the advice which follows each Introduction story. It has been written with considerable diffidence, because story-telling is such an indivi- dual affair that at first it seemed hardly possible to give any directions as to how each story should be told. Moreover, I had especially in mind the inexperienced and probably nervous Story- teller, to whom a story is apt to present itself as something to be memorised and afterwards dis-charged, with more or less accuracy and as much expression as anxiety will permit. To burden such with many details as to pauses, emphasis, inflections, would be only to add to their troubles. Also I am sure that expression, in story- telling of the homely, intimate kind for which these little stories are intended, comes best and most freely when it springs from the Story-tellers own enjoyment and understanding.

Something has been lost since the myth and legend has been hijacked by the mainstream media. The storytellers of old have been replaced by corporations who assimilate everything into fantasy. This could be nothing further from the truth. Through story, most if not all cultures pass on from generation to generation stories pertaining to how we interact with nature and others through the highest of morals and respect. With the vilification of this, it is up to the elders of cultures to make sure these stories infiltrate into the collective heart of our children, guiding them and allowing them to make their way through life with integrity. As we enter the twenty-first century, our childrens future is in peril, with an oversexualised media and mass marketing for all the wrong reasons.This book of stories follows the life of a young girl whose imagination is healthy and very active, of her interaction with nature and the nature spirits, to raising children of her own and passing on sacred information to her siblings.
