Best Loved Stories: Told at the National Storytelling Festival Reviews

  • Renata

    I read this in search of ~scary stories~ to tell at a library event. I found one that I reworked to tell (
    the story of Bill Sketoe's hole). Most of them aren't scary--which when I picked this up I knew it wasn't a scary stories anthology but I was just looking for something different, and I intended to skim through it and just look for ghosts. But instead I read the whole thing because all the stories looked so interesting. It's... almost like it's a collection of BEST-LOVED stories or something. A cool mix of folk tales, historical stories, and personal narrative.

    A great source for storytelling ideas or even read-alouds. Source notes are slim as they take the form of brief teller introductions so it would be best to find additional information from other sources.

    My children loved for me to read from this book. Their favorite was the story "Morgan and the Pot of Brains"! I love story telling and my children love for me to read in the different voices. So much fun!

    I really liked this book. I liked all the stories and how different they were.
