Books with title Thirteen Family Stories

Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham (24 may 1852 – 20 march 1936) was a Scottish politician, writer, journalist and adventurer.In “Thirteen Stories” the author puts forward in faultless prose and with critical sense, the distinctive aspects of people and places he met or knew throughout his voyages.Sometimes with crudeness and sometimes with his particular sarcasm the author frequently mixes his chronicles with his own reflections, which often reveal humanitarian feelings, an adventurous personality and a strong and unyielding character.Narratives such as “Cruz Alta”, “A Hegira”, “La Pulpería”, “Higginson's Dream” and “Calvary”, are meant as a warning against the negative consequences of the forthcoming so called “civilization” of territories and marginal cultures labeled as “savage” by modern Europeans.Other works such as “In a German Trap”, “Sidi Bu Zabbala”, “A Pakeha”, “Victory”, “Rothenberger´s Wedding” and “La Clamenza de Tito” tell the reader about circumstances in the interaction of members of different cultures as the outcome of modern trends.“The Gold Fish” and “Sohail” are accounts of ancient peoples and traditions as grasped by the author.A vast researcher and a great connoisseur of horses, R.B. Cunninhame Graham (known as “Don Roberto” in South America), died of pneumonia in the Plaza Hotel of Buenos Aires in 1936, before he was able to meet “criollo” horses “Gato and ”Mancha” (1) and feed them with an oat bag brought specially for them from Scotland.(1) In 1925 “Gato” and “Mancha”, led by the Swiss “Aimé Tschiffel covered 21.500 kilometers from Buenos Aires to New York.Both horses accompanied the funeral procession to the harbor of Buenos Aires where his body was embarked towards his homeland.

Join the storytelling fun! If you’ve ever wanted to try storytelling, Family Stories, Book #2 in the KidTeller Series, will show you how to get started in an informal, familiar environment.What are family stories? Are they…stories you tell to younger brothers, grandparents, aunts or uncles? stories you learn about your unique family history? family legends you create with your family while working together on a project? They are all of the above. But they all have one unique common characteristic. They are all informal stories, adapted for their specific listeners. They are not theatrical performances that are memorized and recited or acted out. They are tales that are learned and modified for each new telling. Just like writers are advised to “write what they know,” storytellers should “tell to who you know,” know your audience. And, since there’s no audience you know better than your family, you’ll find many beginner storytelling opportunities. Whether you’ve read KidTellers Book 1 Easy Beginner Tales or other beginning instruction, or are just getting started now, Family Stories can help you learn basic storytelling concepts, showing you how to speak to your audience and see their responses to you. You’ll learn how storytelling can be more like a conversation than like theater. As in all KidTellers Series books, you’ll find complete “TellerPaks,” each with example stories, step-by-step illustrated instructions for easy props to help tell them, fun activities and telling tips, and an “extra surprise” to help 9-12 year olds develop storytelling skills.
