Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories Told to a Child My schoolfellows were gone, and in a disconsolate mood I was gazing into the square, when I was told to come into the drawing-room. There, in place of my nurse, who generally came to fetch me, I saw a stout, comely member of the Society of Friends; She was eating cake and wine with imperturbable gravity, and, when she had set down her glass, and smoothed out her gown upon her lap, she held out her hand, and said pleasantly.

Download or read book Best Stories to Tell to Children Classic Reprint written by Sara Cone Bryant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Best Stories to Tell to Children It is the belief of the publishers, here and in England, that some of the stories ought to be printed separately from these books on method, for the more ready ac cess of children themselves and those whose interest is of a wholly untechnical sort. This is the more de sirable because stories which are especially adapted to be told are equally charming for reading aloud or to one's self. The converse is not true: stories written to be read are rarely suitable for the story-teller's art until they have been skilfully adapted. In other words, those tales which can be and have been told with suc cess are in a sense the chosen few; they, of all the world's stories, are most charming to hear or to read.

Sometimes he walked through them and pretended that the tall stalks were people who talked to him. When the Wind blew and bent the tall stalks, he played that he was a king and that they were bowing to him as he passed. Perhaps he would be a king some day, and then his big brothers would not tease him, but would bow down to him as the tall stalks of corn did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Knight and Barbara: Being a Series of Stories Told to Children California. These drew illustrative pictures, after their fashion; and from the multitude secured, Mrs. Maitland chose those which are here reproduced. The scenes in the stories were also subjected to the criticisms of children, and in many cases amended to meet their suggestions. Several of the stories, espe cially the classical travesties, would not be printed were it not for the children's drawings. These pic tures made by the children have been found to interest deeply other children, a fact which gives them a certain value as original documents in the study of the working of the child-mind. At the end of the volume are added a few true stories, mostly of birds and of beasts, told to a different audience. With these are a few drawings by Uni versity students, which are intended to assist the imagination of child-readers. The Story of Bob, and the stories of Senor Alcatraz, the Little Blue Fox, and How the Red Fox went Hunting are reprinted, by the courtesy of Dr. William Jay Youmans, from Appletons' Popular Science Monthly, and How the Commander Sailed, from the Paci fic Monthly, by the courtesy of Mr. W. Bittle Wells. The indebtedness of the author to Mrs. Maitland and to Miss Hawley is indicated above. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children's Stories: And How to Tell Them We cannot wonder at the skeptical smile which in certain quarters is sure to greet each new "How" to book as it issues from the press, for too many such books have seemed arrogant, and too many readers have assumed, to their eventual disappointment, that it is within the power of some omniscient author to disclose an infallible recipe for the successful practice of a given art. Of course no such thing is possible. There are no secrets that a painter, a writer or a story-teller can divulge but that may be, and in fact often have been, discovered at first hand by those who have added to their native gifts the devotion of intelligent practice. What is more, there are no fixed rules in art - in literary art especially - by which the would-be artist must be governed as he proceeds. What service, then, can the authors of a book of this kind hope to give to those who take it up expecting help? They can, after either personal experience or a wide and temperate study of the methods of others (or, better still, after both kinds of preparation), make a clear statement of the various methods used successfully by story-tellers - since that is the scope of this treatise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories to Tell to Children: Fifty-One Stories With Some Suggestions for Telling This little book came into being at the instance of my teaching friends all over this country. Their requests for more stories of the kind which were given in How to Tell Stories to Children, and especially their urging that the stories they liked, in my telling, should be set down in print, seemed to justify the hope that the collection would be genuinely useful to them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories to Tell the Littlest Ones Gradually other loves have taken their place in the home-story world, and I have told my boy and girl many tales of many kinds, true, fairy, and foolish, as they call humorous stories, but they still love the one that begins with Peter Rabbit. Once in a while, in the long series Of days, some happy inspiration has given me a better thought than usual, and a real story has popped out of my mouth in place of the mediocre inventions of habit. These few real stories have been retold by request of the original audience, and told again to larger audiences many times. It has seemed to me that the best of them might prove of value to other teach ers and mothers of very, little children, for the demand is continuous, and the sup ply of material suitable for such tiny hearers is exceedingly small.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For the Children's Hour In nearly every case it has been found necessary to adapt the stories to the immediate use of the story teller, whether kindergartner or mother. They have been shortened, and only such salient facts retained as will result in clear mental concepts, and make the stories easily told without undue taxing of the child's attention. A large place has been given to the fanciful tale, which has a direct educational value in the training of the imagination; and the accumulative repetition story, which develops the child's sense of humor, and appeals to his instinctive love of rhyme and jingle.
