"For the Story Teller: Story Telling and Stories to Tell" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey is a collection of essays and stories aimed at educators and parents, written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the art of story-telling, emphasizing its psychological impact on children and its importance in their education and moral development. The book not only explores effective storytelling techniques but also provides a selection of engaging tales that can be shared with children. The opening of the book introduces the concept of "apperception," explaining how children interpret new ideas based on their existing knowledge. Bailey illustrates this with anecdotes from her experiences as a storyteller, highlighting the importance of choosing stories that resonate with children's life experiences. Through examples like "The Three Bears" and "The Cap That Mother Made," she demonstrates how familiar concepts can make stories more relatable, thereby enhancing children's understanding and enjoyment. The text establishes a framework for understanding how stories can be tailored to meet the developmental needs of children, while also stressing the significance of stories in shaping young minds.
