Fourth volume in the Storytelling Schools Series
"Our storytelling evokes and nourishes the inner, imaginative world--our ultimate source of creativity. Through stories we tap into an ancient vein of tradition, offering inspiration, wonder, and insight to the audience, whether for entertainment, education, team building, or healing." --Chris Smith

It is brimming with historical stories about significant individuals--from Rosa Parks and Tim Berners Lee to Boudicca and Henry VIII--as well as original stories in historical settings, all written specifically for classroom use.
