Story Telling, What to Tell and How to Tell It is a foundational guide designed for educators, librarians, and parents who wish to harness the power of the oral tradition to engage and inspire children. Author Edna Lyman offers a thoughtful exploration of storytelling as a deliberate art form, providing clear instruction on how to select appropriate material and the specific techniques needed for effective delivery.

The work emphasizes the educational and psychological importance of the narrative, illustrating how well-chosen stories can foster imagination and cultivate a lasting appreciation for literature. Lyman provides practical advice on adapting diverse sources-including myths, legends, and folk tales-for various age groups and environments. By focusing on the essential elements of voice, rhythm, and audience connection, the manual serves as both a theoretical study and a hands-on resource. Story Telling, What to Tell and How to Tell It remains a significant contribution to the field of language arts, offering timeless strategies for those dedicated to the enrichment of the young mind through the spoken word.
