The language of evolution, storytelling is the gift of our ancestors from all cultures, given to help nourish our healthy development in times of growth and change.

Author Biography: Nancy Mellon is a storyteller and runs the School for Therapeutic Storytelling in New Hampshire. She has a varied background as a teacher of literature, painting and drawing, and color therapy. She has been connected with the Waldorf education movement since 1976. With multidimensional, cross-cultural training in healing through the arts, she offers workshops and courses at many locations in the North America and the UK. She is also the author of Storytelling and the Art of the Imagination (1992) and The Art of Storytelling (1998).

Storytelling with Children (Early Years Series)
This book preaches to the proverbial choir in spending so much time encouraging parents as to the importance of storytelling. It also relays anecdotes of others' successes in telling stories (predominantly drawn from the author's storytelling groups), without really guiding the inexperienced reader through HOW to construct a story. The book's structure is also not linear in path and not intuitive in flow, making it read rather haphazardly.
Last note: There are no "Oriental" children, only carpets!
Update: Her Storytellilng and the Art of Imagination has more concrete discussions of the facets of storytelling.
