Published in 1915; this book is a must for the storyteller.By Paul LarsonI knew of Marie Shedlock from reading Ruth Sawyers similar book; "The Way of the Story teller". Marie Shedlock was an enchanting story teller in her day. She spoke fluent French and could tell tales in English or french and was spellbinding in either language. Her approach and appreciation of storytelling; particularly to children; reflect the times in which she lived; very different from our own day. Nevertheless her grasp of the art of storytelling and how the mind of children might receive a tale is impressive and her suggestions and advice are as relevant today as they were in 1915. For instance she notes how inflection or repetition may be used or misused; much depending on the age of the hearers. In the book she includes many of her favorite stories for the telling and for those who aspire to the storytelling field these tales would be a worthy addition to their repertoire. But remember; storytelling is a form of theater and both Marie Shedlock and Ruth Sawyer were practiced in the art of it; being able to present the circumstances and portray the characters vividly.Paul Larson; aka "Gusty" McCabe; storyteller.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
