This handbook for beginning and advanced storytellers, parents, and professionals introduces techniques and resources to develop and extend storytelling skills. It is divided into four parts. Part 1 outlines program planning, promotion, and storytelling techniques. Part 2 covers the sources for storytelling of narrative tables, fables and myths, poetry, and non-narrative folklore. Part 3 stresses the use of media in storytelling with sections on pictures and objects, board stories, slides and filmstrips, overhead projectors, film, television and radio, puppetry, magic, and music. Part 4 is concerned with programs for age groups from preschool to adult, activity programs, book parties, and creative dramatics. (KP)
