"I went into reading this book knowing it was a classic "textbook" for storytellers and those interested in oral storytelling. I was not disappointed. Her inspirational views on educating children through story make this book a must-read for any teacher."
"I am a professional storyteller and when I first started learning my craft I found this book in the library and it was a treasure trove of ideas and concepts. Ruth Sawyer was a classic teller herself of great talent and a master. Her book is a great guide for anyone wanting to explore the field of storytelling."
"this book has actually added a richness to my understanding of therapy, oddly enough. but its primary purpose is definitely to help readers understand the power of a simple story told."
