In this volume the stories are intended to be told by an adult to a child or children, told jointly with the children joining in in various ways, or told independently by the child to an adult or to other children in the family. The main idea is to retell them from memory in the storyteller's own words, rather than read them out word-for-word, although the stories can also be read if you wish.\" (from the introduction)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Smith\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a storyteller, educational trainer and founding Director of Storytelling Schools.
