前表紙
University of Alberta, 2003/08/29 - 204 ページ
Storytelling is relationship. Stories become the threads that bind a family. We all tell stories about our experiences and daily life. When we die, it is our stories that are remembered. Family stories remembered and shared help the family, and the individuals who comprise it, to survive and flourish. Storytelling within the family provides quality time; creating bonds, increasing listening skills, and fostering communication. Enrich your family life, connect with your children, and celebrate your ancestors by learning to tell family stories, folktales, and nursery rhymes. Telling Tales: Storytelling in the Family is a fascinating guide to the art of gathering and telling stories. Written by three renowned storytellers, Telling Tales includes personal stories, how-to tips and extensive resource lists, and builds upon the success of the acclaimed first edition. Storytelling is contagious. Telling stories helps us make sense of what is happening around us and within ourselves. Stories are our powerful gift to the younger generation.

著者について (2003)

Merle Harris has always been fascinated with the oral tradition and loved listening to stories. In 1972, as a new mother in a new country, she found herself remembering her childhood in Rhodesia and how African parents used storytelling rather than lecturing with their children, and falling back on this tradition to raise her sons. Children's author and storyteller Celia Barker Lottridge discovered her gift for creating tales with her family in Iowa. She received her M. A. from Columbia University. Lottridge worked as a child's librarian, and was also a buyer for the Children's Bookstore in Toronto. She is a member of the Storytellers School of Toronto, and the director of the Mother Goose Program. Lottridge has written "Ten Small Tales" and "Ticket to Curlew," which won the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People and was named the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children.
