Tell Me a Tale: A Book about Storytelling

Rating:
Summary: Enriching Your Life Through Storytelling
Review: Bruchac's passion for storytelling reverberates through this guide aimed primarily at young people. Bruchac organizes his book around a "circle of learning" that he deems integral to life. The four components of his circle are listening, observing, remembering, and sharing. He includes activities to help people nurture each of these skills and includes fourteen stories, more than half of them from the Native American tradition. Bruchac, whose voice quietly exudes wisdom, emphasizes the importance of knowing stories from one's own family, heritage, locale, and life.
