| Publisher Description: Georgiana Keable introduces us to a staggering wealth of world stories all about nature and our role as humans in it. These are traditional stories that have stood the test of time. They often speak of something universal or enduring about our experience and relationship with nature. Culturally diverse and all told with great energy and panache, the stories will engage young readers and encourage them to become natural storytellers. The book includes several storymaps to help the reader think visually about stories as well as other ways to remember the different stages that make up each tale. The author also reflects on the heart of each tale, what it's about, and whether there is a way the reader can turn their own experience into a story. Each section has a practical activity that can be undertaken individually or as a group. The author's message is clear: the resources needed for Natural Storytelling are abundantly around us - nature and our imagination. |
Contributor Bio(s): Keable, Georgiana: - Georgiana Keable has been pioneer for the renaissance of storytelling in England and Norway. She has taught storytelling at Oslo University since 1997 and launched the Norwegian storytelling festival. In 2002, she started The Storytelling House with participants from three continents. Georgiana tells stories reflecting our relation with nature--often outside, walking, while sensing the forest, the weather, and the sea. She also travels and collects stories about the connections between people and nature. In 2015, Georgiana received the Oslo prize for Outstanding Contribution to Art in Oslo. Lupton, Hugh: - Hugh Lupton's interest in traditional music, in street theater, in live poetry, and in myth resulted in him becoming a professional storyteller in 1981, a time when there were only half a dozen in Britain, working mostly in schools. In 1985, he cofounded The Company of Storytellers with the aim of taking storytelling to adult audiences. Their work was instrumental in stimulating a nationwide revival of interest in storytelling. |
