"How to Tell Stories to Children, and Some Stories to Tell" by Sara Cone Bryant is a guidebook on the art of storytelling intended for educators and parents, written in the late 19th century. This work explores effective storytelling techniques suited to children's educational and emotional development and offers a collection of stories that can be told in engaging ways. The author aims to highlight how storytelling can facilitate children's understanding, joy, and moral growth. At the start of the book, Bryant reflects on the powerful impact that storytelling has on both children and adults, drawing from her experiences as a lecturer. She emphasizes the difference between reading a story and telling it, stating that storytelling allows for more connection and spontaneity with the audience. Bryant sets the tone for the rest of the book by outlining the purpose of storytelling in educational settings, emphasizing that stories are meant to entertain and spark joy in children while subtly imparting valuable life lessons. She introduces the idea that good stories often contain action, familiar yet imaginative themes, and elements of repetition that appeal to young listeners.
