Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-08 00:00:00 Arthur J Gurnett Storytelling is a really wonderful art and I know I love to hear a good story. In this book, Joseph Bruchac tells different steps and activities to improve your storytelling. He also tells the most important things of storytelling - Listen, Observe, Remember and Share. Stories, I believe, are a important part of life. They can help us to learn and grow as a person - through stories, we can find out so much about ourselves. In my own way, I am a bit of a storyteller, but in a different way. I write and I love doing that. Writing is what I want to do with my life and I believe I have many good stories to share with the world. But I also appreciate oral storytelling. There is just something about hearing a story. It's special, much in the way reading a good book is. There are also a number of good and memorable stories Joseph Bruchac tells in this book - I know I will remember many of them. I enjoyed the stories in the book and feel they have become a part of me now. Truly, this is a wonderful book about storytelling. I recommend it to anyone who wants to become a storyteller, or anyone who is a writer like myself.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-25 00:00:00 Joshua Hare Human beings are, by nature, storytellers. We tell stories every day, and we all have personal stories about our names, family history, hometown, cultural heritage, etc. Stories are all around us! This is a wonderful, empowering introduction authored by a master storyteller for anyone wishing to tell stories. The volume includes a selection of traditional tales to tell. Drawing on his diverse experiences as a storyteller, Bruchac discusses the use of storytelling for healing and therapeutic purposes. He also touches upon the ethics of storytelling, such as requesting permission and attribution of stories to specific storytellers. The book is written in spare language that is accessible to both children and adults. A highly recommended book for all storytellers!
