The Art of the Story-Teller


Book Description

Marie L. Shedlock's 'The Art of the Story-Teller' is a guide to the craft of storytelling, perfect for educators and artists alike. Shedlock's insights, born of a lifetime of experience, highlight the essential elements of story and the artifices of storytelling. She explores how to avoid elements that detract from the power of a story, and how to select and present materials that captivate an audience. Shedlock's wisdom is brought to life in a collection of stories that includes tales of history, mythology, and folklore, as well as beloved favorites from Hans Christian Andersen.




The Art of the Story-teller


Book Description
