Storyteller, Storyteacher: Discovering the Power of Storytelling for Teaching and Living
A committed teacher, storyteller, and listener presents a highly readable how-to about involving both adults and students in storytelling.  Marni shows why storytelling can be so satisfying and enlarging for tellers young and old by discussing the meaning of anecdote, "just talk," personal tales, and age-old stories that tell aspects of one's own inner journey.  Marni includes suggestions for developing personal stories, discovering family tellers and emulating them, and checking out resources in the library, as well as ideas about how to tell, how to coach others, and how not to be afraid of the power of a story to move us all to tears.  A succinct but helpful "Resources for Storytellers" is also included.  --Journal of Youth, Jan-Mar 1997
