"The Story Tellers' Magazine, Vol. I, No. 1, June 1913" by Various is a collection of folklore and educational resources in the domain of storytelling, written in the early 20th century. This magazine aims to highlight the art of storytelling, showcasing stories, essays, and discussions relevant to teachers, parents, and anyone interested in narrative techniques and their educational value. Each tale, drawn from various traditions, showcases the rich tapestry of oral storytelling that promotes imagination and moral lessons. At the start of the magazine, the narrative "Nimmy Nimmy Not" is introduced, retelling an English fairy-tale about a girl who must spin flax into skeins to avoid dire consequences set by a king. The girl encounters a mysterious little black creature who spins the flax for her, under the condition that she must guess his name, or he will claim her as his own. The story unfolds with a series of trials, humorous interactions, and a climax that highlights the themes of cunning and identity. As she seeks to learn the creature's name, the girl navigates a world filled with whimsy and tensions typical of fairy tales, showcasing the engaging narrative style that the magazine promotes.
