SCHOOL GIFT OF CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH STORIES TO TELL TO CHILDREN A SELECTED LIST WITH STORIES AND POEMS FOR HOLIDAY PROGRAMS SECOND EDITION PITTSBURGH CARNEGIE LIBRARY \ 1918 3CHOOI Preface to the First Edition This list of stories, compiled by Miss Edna Whiteman, supervisor of story-telling in the Carnegie Library of Pitts- burgh, contains those selected for use in the story hours con- ducted by this Library, exclusive of the series of cycle stories. The selection is based on practical experience and is, we believe, sufficiently comprehensive to meet ordinary library needs. Among the problems of the librarian is that of finding some method by which large groups of children may be directed to the best books, and aroused to an interest in good reading. The telling of carefully chosen stories is one practical solution, and one which has proved very useful in this Library, where story hours have been conducted regularly since 1899, an d have been attended by over 900,000 children. This pamphlet is published in the hope that the results of our work may prove helpful to others. HARRISON W. GRAVER, March 15, 1916. Librarian. Preface to the Second Edition The great demand for this pamphlet has necessitated a new edition. Few changes have been made, as the first edition satisfactorily .met our needs. Several story titles have been added, and some revision has been made of the lists of sources. JOHN H. LEETE, April 1 8, 1917.

The folk-tales, the earliest forms of imaginative literature, were created by the story-teller, and were handed down through generations from teller to hearer before being definitely fixed in written form; and this primitive way of reproducing imaginative experiences which interpret life in simple, childlike terms, so popular in a less sophisticated civilization, is still the most delightful one to children and, because of the joy it gives, is the most effec- tive method of quickening their power of perception and of directing their interest. Through the story-teller's understanding of the meaning of the story and her appreciation of its artistic form, the story is given color; its high lights are given relief, and the noble, the heroic, the pathetic, the humorous and the joyous quali- ties of thought and action are brought clearly to the conscious- ness of the children. The voice, expression and gesture are used to portray all shades of thought and feeling, giving life to the story, distinctness to the scenes and vividness to the action. Children enter into the experiences of the characters with a degree of freedom, spontaneity and appreciation which is not possible where the printed page intervenes. Delightful, wholesome fields are opened to the imagination in this way; pleasure is found in literature, and a capacity for enjoyment of the best that books can offer is created and fostered. The library story hour is frequently the first step in the development of taste for good reading and is an introduction to the possibilities of the public library. It attracts children to the library, stimulates the desire to read, calls attention to spe- cific books and produces a healthy curiosity concerning others. 7 Selection Because the spoken story has such great power to sway emotions and make deep and lasting impressions, it is im- portant that great discrimination be exercised in the selection of stories to be told. The story selected should not only embody subject matter of interest to children, but should deal with this matter in such a way that children can get the point of view and. follow the thought; they understand neither an introspective nor a remi- niscent point of view, nor do they enjoy a merely picturesque representation of childhood. The philosophy involved should present an attitude toward life of which children have some conception, not one which puzzles them by its inclusion of the results of adult experience. The moral principles involved should be true, but not obviously the purpose of the story. The humorous tale may be crude, but it should be wholesome, not farcical or heavy. The story must have unity and directness ; a logical development of events leading directly to the great turning point or climax, after which there should be no in- cidents of import, but simply a gathering of the threads into a satisfying close. Both the fairy tale and the realistic story are valuable. The fairy tale represents human life as truly as the realistic story, although it does so through poetic symbols. Felix Adler says of the Marchen : "They have an authority of their own, not indeed that of literal truth, but one derived from their being types of certain feelings and longings which belong to child- hood as such." 1 Hamilton Wright Mabie says : "These tales are the first outpourings of that spring of imagination whence flow the most illuminating, inspiring, refreshing and captivat- ing thoughts and ideas about life. No philosophy is deeper than that which underlies these stories; no psychology more important than that which finds its choicest illustration in them . . . The fairy tale belongs to the child and ought always to be within his reach, not only because it is his special literary form and his nature craves it, but because it is one" of the most vital 1 Moral instruction of children, p.68. 8 of the text books offered to him in the school of life." 1 The realistic story is valuable, as giving the lustre of art to every- day life and as counterbalancing the marvelous experiences of fairyland with those actually possible. Among the stories to be avoided are those which merely teach ethics or manners and those which are only statements of facts. Other common types which are undesirable for story- telling are the stories for special purposes or occasions, pre- sented in inartistic fashion, and those whose beauty or force depends chiefly on the diction or on elaborate detail. Method "In order to achieve results in literature the children must have something more than a good story : they must have a good story teller." 2 Story-telling is a simple art. Like every other art, however, its development offers unlimited opportunity for study. Be- cause it is an interpretation of literature, an appreciation of literature in general and of the particular stories to be told is necessary. In each story the situations must be realized, each scene visualized, the underlying thought apprehended, every emotion and thought transition conceived, and the characters made real acquaintances. The story-teller of to-day has, as had the story-teller of old, the privilege of making such changes as will perfect the organization of a story or eliminate unsuitable elements. An understanding of children, a keen sense of the artistic, a natural, sincere and intimate manner, and a well placed voice and clear enunciation are some of the most essential qualifica- tions for the story-teller. Story-telling is not the art of the stage ; it demands dramatic interpretation, but should not over- step its bounds and become acting. The story-teller should use simple, pictorial language suited to the particular type of story being told. The moral significance of the story should not be analyzed for the children nor over-emphasized; but allowed to unfold naturally to each individual child. 1 Fairy tales every child should know, Introduction, p.io, 14. * Gesell.

Story-Telling- in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Two story hours are conducted each week in the Central Library, in each of the eight branch libraries, and in two of the school deposit stations. One is for children below the fifth school grade, although older children are not excluded; the other is for children above the fourth school grade. One story hour is held each week in a children's library room in a social settlement house, and in four school deposit stations. Wher- ever it is possible the children under eight years of age are grouped by themselves. Story-telling is a part of the programs in the home libraries and reading clubs conducted by the Library. Stories are told in the summer playgrounds that are near libraries and in certain others where small collections of books are supplied by the Library for circulation during the summer. Special story hours are held occasionally in the club-rooms or lecture-halls of the libraries, which teachers are invited to attend with their classes. School time is often given for this purpose. Stories are told on invitation in the class-rooms of the schools and at meetings of mothers' clubs, and on special occasions for social centres, Y. W. C. A.'s, settlement houses and other organizations. Story hours for the younger children commence in Septem- ber or October and continue through April or May ; the length of the season depends on the particular needs of the various districts. Story hours for the older children begin the first week of November and are discontinued about the first of April. The story hours are announced by posters hung in the children's rooms of the libraries. Children are also notified of the dates of commencement through visits to the schools by the children's librarians. The children gather in the children's rooms and are taken to the story hour rooms in groups. Thirty children form a group of convenient size, but on account of the large attend- ance it is often necessary to include from fifty to seventy in a group. Story hour rooms, club-rooms and lecture-halls are 10 used for the purpose. Where possible, rooms not too large for the groups are used, and the chairs or benches are arranged in semicircles. The attendance varies greatly in different districts. In large branches stories are told to from four to six hundred of the younger children in an afternoon after school and it is sometimes necessary to have four or five people telling stories at the same time to different groups. The attendance of older children at a single story hour in the busy season varies from forty-five in a small branch to two hundred in a large one. Definite programs are prepared for each library centre. To the younger children miscellaneous stories are told, selected chiefly from the folk-tales of various countries, legends, myths, fables, modern realistic stories and Bible stories. Two stories are usually told to each group, and whenever possible variety is given by the selection of stories of different types. Poems and nursery rhymes are occasionally included in these pro- grams. Special days are celebrated if stories can be found which express the spirit of the holiday and are sufficiently dramatic in form. The same stories are sometimes repeated during the year because of the deeper impression made through repetition, and the value to children of an intimate acquaintance with a few of the best things in the literature appropriate for them. If something new is given each time, the impressions are confused and dissipated, and material which is either be- yond a child's appreciation or unsuitable for story-telling must finally be used. When an additional story is told and the chil- dren are allowed a choice, the story requested is almost without exception a very old and well-known one. To the older chil- dren some of the great cycle stories are presented by telling one story each week. High adventure and romance, as depicted in these hero tales, have a special appeal to the boy and girl from ten to fifteen, and at this age interest is easily sustained. The following cycles are used: Stories from the Norse; historical tales, myths and sagas. Stones from the ballads of Robin Hood. Stories from the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer. ii Stories of Persian heroes; from the Shah Nameh of Firdausi. Story of Beowulf; from the Anglo-Saxon epic. Stones of Cuchulain; from the heroic legends of Ireland. : -;- Stories of King Arthur and his knights; from Malory's Morte Dar- thur and other mediaeval legends. Stories of Charlemagne and his paladins; from mediaeval legends and the Chanson de Roland. Outlines are made for these cycles in which incidents and details unsuitable for children and for story-telling are elimi- nated, and best versions for the story-teller and for the children are indicated. Outlines of the first two of the cycles listed above have been published as separate pamphlets. The source books and others of like interest are placed on a shelf or table near the posters which announce the story hours. One or two of these books are frequently taken into the story hours and the attention of the children called to them by referring to particular incidents or illustrations. After hearing a story told many children ask for the book from which it was selected and are interested in reading others for which the story-telling has created the background. The stories are told by the children's librarians and by tu- dents of the Carnegie Library School. The work is directed by the supervisor of story-telling. 12 Stories to Tell to Children A Selected List Classification of Stories In the following lists the stories are grouped according to their interest to children of different ages. No very definite lines can be drawn, however, and each group contains stories which are also much enjoyed by children of other ages than those indicated. In order that a story suited to a given purpose may be quickly found, the stories are characterized as follows: Cumulative folk-tale, Repetitive folk-tale, Folk fairy tale, Humorous folk-tale, Fable, Saint legend, Mediaeval legend, Irish legend, Japanese legend, Dutch legend, Latin legend, German legend, American Indian legend, Greek myth, Norse myth, Biblical story, Anglo-Saxon epic, Greek epic, Persian epic, Ballad story, Modern fairy tale, Modern realistic story, Modern^ Ameri- can Indian story, Biographical story. The stories are arranged under these heads in the classified index which follows the lists. Parallels The preferred form of a story is listed first. Parallel or similar stories are given only when these are also quite acceptable for story* telling. Sources Not all known sources for the stories are listed. Where possible one or more books containing an original version of the story and one containing a good adaptation of it are listed first. Where one version of a story is decidedly preferable for story-telling the source is indi- cated thus f. Sources valuable to the story-teller but not suitable for children are marked *. In the arrangement of additional sources pref- erence is usually given to the books most suitable as a whole for chil- dren of the ages to which the particular story appeals. Where stories are available in but few books, rather unsatisfactory sources are some- times included. For the same reason, primers and readers are some- times given as sources, although text-books are omitted for the most part. 13 Stories to Tell to Children Stories of Special Interest to Children Under Seven Years of Age t Indicates version preferable for story-telling. * Indicates sources valuable to the story-teller but not suitable for children.
