Terrific book on coaching storytellers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Great advice and beautifully written and organized too. Vivid stories from various storytelling traditions and from the author's experience clarify his points. I'm enjoying it and learning a lot about coaching storytellers, too.
Become a better storyteller!

At storytelling festivals around the country, I have overheard storytellers--some librarians or teachers, but many just people who want to hone their skills spinning a story--recommend this book to each other. It is a very nurturing treatment of the hurdles to effective oral communication. Even preachers and insurance agents will benefit by its advice.
