BOOKS ABOUT STORY TELLING.
Best sources:
Bryant, S.C. How to tell stories to children.
One of the most practical and helpful books on the subject. Fine common-sense is used in all that is said on the purpose of story-telling, the selection of stories and how to adapt and to tell the story. Some specific uses of the story in the school room are given besides a graded collection of thirty-two stories and a short list of books in which the story teller will find stories not too far from the form in which they are needed.
Cowles, J.D. The art of story telling.
A useful elementary book.
Contains about 50 stories in form
suited to young children.
Lyman, Edna. Story telling; what to tell and how to tell it.
