Summary: Keep Looking
Comment: While there are some interesting insights shared by various professional storytellers it does little to actually help you understand the topics listed in its Table of Contents. For each chapter you have a dozen or so experts answer some pretty basic questions in a paragraph or two.
Instead of providing provocative insights into the interesting world of storytelling, this book is actually more of a collection of one-paragraph answers to very general topics. They don't provide enough detail, insightful hints, or strangely enough, even good stories behind their explanations.
Rather than leveraging the experiences and insights from some great storytellers, this text instead provides common sense answers to overly general questions. In the chapter titled "Getting Started" you are told by 17 experts that the best way to get started telling stories is to tell stories...and that's about it. In the chapter "Making a Story your Own" you are essentially told by 16 experts that you should tell the same story alot and try to tweak it to fit you.
Overall, if you are looking for a good source of insight into how to tell a tale, you should probably keep looking.

Summary: a must-read if you want to try your hand at storytelling
Comment: All my friends who are working to become better storytellers swear by this handbook. It includes interviews with fifty of the best-known professional storytellers in the USA today. I have heard many of them at large national and regional festivals myself and would follow their advice. This book came to my attention through very positive reviews in library magazines, but it has been recommended to me by storytellers famous and unknown.
