Description

Where do stories come from, and how do we come to know them? Daughters listen with wonder to their grandmothers’ tales. Journalists have their trusted sources. Writers of storybooks draw unconsciously from the works of their predecessors. It is as if every story has within it an infallible truth, contained in the echo of its original telling. The storyteller recounts the tale. The listener hears, learns and remembers. In due course they will retell the same tale, adding in something of their own. And so listeners in time turn into storytellers. This inspiring book brings together the stories from across the world of listeners who themselves became storytellers. They reveal who influenced them the most, what drew them further in, what they learnt, and what they now wish to share with new generations. Tips, tools and tales: read this book, and take your turn.
About The Society for Storytelling
THE SOCIETY FOR STORYTELLING champions and promotes storytelling throughout the UK. Paul Jackson, the cover illustrator, is the current chair of the society and Christine Willison was the chair from 2012-2017 and is known for ‘Bookbug’, her children's literature project which visited schools, museums and events many years. Other contributors include Chip Colquhoun who has told stories in seven countries, represented the Oxford Reading Tree online, and wrote the EU guide to storytelling for schools, and Tony Cooper who has been a professional storyteller for the last 36 years, sharing tales with radio listeners, Indian street children, nuclear physicists, prisoners, French midwives, Danish college lecturers and passing strangers.
