Love the variety and sound advice on telling these gems. Ms. Pearmain did wonderful work for teachers and storytellers on how to delve deeper into the power of stories. I love this book and highly recommend it to all educators, literary creators, theater, and storytellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding source for teachers and storytellers
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2012

This was one of my independent summer readings. As a part-time storyteller and a full-time teacher, I am always looking for stories with substance to incorporate into my middle school language arts classes. I'm excited about using many of the stories contained in this sourcebook in my "Read Aloud" segment of my daily schedule. Although I generally like to tell or read a story and let the story sit in a listener's mind and do its magic without too much analysis, I do like many of the suggested follow-up activities, and I especially liked that each story has a list of its themes.

This book is a perfect resource for teachers. It has so many traditional stories in it that will fit so many units. Many of the stories can be tied to character building.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text on the subject
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2010
We use this book as the central text in our graduate degree class, 'Storytelling and Character Education', at Southern CT State University in New Haven, CT. It is a universally loved book by our students, mostly teachers and librarians getting advanced degree credits. They all report using the stories and activities from the book in their classroom and work situations, and many of them have said they have found it to be the most useful text of their entire graduate program. The stories and activities are all laid out in a clear and easily accessible manner, and all are directly on point to the subject at hand.
