Summary: How wonderfull!
Comment: The stories are very interesting and my children (5 and 8 old)
love them very much.
The "Panther and the Rabbit" is their lovely one.
I told them many times.
The "Fox's Sack" is very funny with songs. You know it's
the kind of stories you will remember all the time.
I think that with the "Magic Mortar" you will be delighted,
because you can't guessing the end. My children were
very surprised but got an answer to one of their many questions!
It's nice too to read tips to tell the story and to know
more about the teller.
Enjoy!

Summary: Can't miss tales for beginners and seasoned tellers alike
Comment: This book is one of the first of many story collections I have bought in my journey as a teller. It remains one of my favorites, especially as a resource for the young tellers I have nurtured in my youth teller's guild. Some of the best tellers around have generously shared tales they have told, along with tips for the teller. At a time when the word "copyright" often rears its head among the storytelling world, this sharing of a favorite story, with permission to tell, is a rare gift.
The stories themselves range from tall tale, such as Chuck Larkin's "Electricity Elixer" to world folklore from David Novak in the story of "The Three Dolls," and everything in between. Each story has notes from the teller on the meaning of the story to them, the full text of the tale, followed by notes from the teller that will help beginning tellers understand better how to capture the mood of the story.
If you are looking for a collection of stories that are sure to please a wide range of audiences, look no further. This volume will be a great resource for the classroom, library or homeschool families. (Gwyn is a professional storyteller who has coached many middle school students in the telling of their first story).

Summary: divers american stories
Comment: This book is just full of stories from the best tellers! I enjoyed them all, but liked that many areas and cultures were represented including the south and native american tellers. I would recommend this to anyone who likes storytelling as a hobby, or as a teller!
