Power Release Date: December 2, 2005 [EBook #17202] Language: English Character set encoding: ISO-8859-1 *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK LISTS OF STORIES AND *** Produced by Suzanne Shell, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net Lists of Stories and Programs for Story Hours Compiled by The Staff of The Children's Department St. Louis Public Library and edited by EFFIE L. POWER Revised Edition NEW YORK 1921 FOREWORD This story-hour material was first published in the Monthly Bulletin of the St. Louis Public Library in 1914 and was later reprinted in pamphlet form. It has been slightly revised for the present edition but the form and viewpoint has not been changed and most of the notes remain as originally written for the St. Louis Public Library Staff. The editor has made no attempt to compile a complete handbook on story-telling but has merely brought together in uniform printed form, story lists and programs for story hours as they have been used to meet the needs in the various divisions of the Children's Department of the St. Louis Public Library. No claim is made to originality, but the editor assumes all responsibility for the form and standard of the lists as here presented. The aim has been to keep the lists brief and to give short, practical outlines which may be extended. Since library story-telling is directed primarily toward inspirational reading, the selections listed are chiefly from literary sources. A wealth of material in the form of biography and history has not been included, because books in those classes have been fully indexed by subject in the library catalogues. For example: a list of Christmas stories has been included among the lists for special days, but none has been given for Washington's Birthday or Independence Day. There is, however, a list of patriotic and historical narrative poems. Further explanations will be found in the short paragraphs preceding each list, and in the index to titles of stories. EFFIE L. POWER, _Director of Work with Children_. Cleveland Public Library, February 12, 1921.

SUGGESTIONS FOR STORY HOURS FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. The following programs for story hours for the little children are suggestive only. It is desirable that the best folk tales be repeated as often as the children desire, and that poems should be read or recited in connection with the stories where there is a response. The little children should never be held longer than half an hour, and twenty minutes is better. The stories to be told together are numbered 1 and 2. This grouping may be changed and additions may be made from books which have been duplicated freely in the juvenile book collections, but the selection should be kept to the standard of this list. Also, it is not required that the groups of stories should be used in the order listed. See also lists for special days. PROGRAMS FOR STORY HOURS. 1. Water of life.

The cycle story hours in the St. Louis Public Library are planned to interest older boys and girls in great works of literature and to inspire them to read along one line for several weeks or months. Stories in a series are told at a definite hour each week to encourage regular attendance. However, each story is complete in itself and any boys and girls of nine years and more are invited to attend whether or not they are registered borrowers of books. GREEK CYCLE STORIES. Greek Myths. 1. The gorgon's head. 2. Three golden apples. 3. The miraculous pitcher. 4. The Chimaera. 5. The Minotaur. 6. The Pygmies. 7. The golden fleece. _Sources for the story teller:_ Hawthorne. Wonder book. Hawthorne. Tanglewood tales. Kingsley. Heroes, or, Greek fairy tales for my children. The Hawthorne books are Greek myths interpreted into moral stories written in the author's inimitable style. The characters are more human and real to the child than those in the Kingsley version. Kingsley retains the Greek spirit and tells the stories in bold, strong, heroic outlines. They are probably more easily adapted than the Hawthorne versions. Stories from the Odyssey. 1. Adventures of Ulysses with the Lotus Eaters and the Cyclops. 2. Kingdom of the Winds and the Island of Circe. 3. The visit to the Land of Shades. 4. Song of the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis and the Oxen of the Sun. 5. The Island of Calypso and the shipwreck on the coast of Phaeocia. 6. Princess Nausicaa. 7. Battle of the Beggars. 8. Triumph of Ulysses. _Sources for the story teller:_ Homer. Odyssey; tr. by W.C. Bryant. Parts read or recited from this straightforward, dignified translation in blank verse will be appreciated by children. Homer. Odyssey; done into English prose by Butcher and Lang. Homer; tr. by G.H. Palmer. Both the above are accepted classic prose translations. The prose of Palmer is so direct, simple and rhythmic that a twelve-year-old child can enjoy it. Butcher and Lang use an older English style in the endeavor to make the translation an accurate historical document. The archaic language with its somewhat involved phrasing is confusing to children and makes it less readable than the Palmer translation. Marvin. Adventures of Odysseus. This book is for boys and girls to read for themselves. So much of the Homeric spirit is retained and it is so well done that it will be very suggestive in organizing and preparing stories from the Odyssey for oral rendition. Stories from the Iliad. 1. Cause of the Trojan war. 2. The quarrel of the chiefs and the results. 3. The duel of Paris and Menelaus. The great battles and the death of Patroclus. 4. Achilles in his sorrow vows vengeance on Troy. The armor of Achilles. 5. Death of Hector. Priam and Achilles. 6. The wooden horse and the end of the Trojan war. _Sources for the story teller:_ Homer. Iliad; tr. into English by W.C. Bryant. An interesting, dignified and scholarly rendition into English blank verse. Homer. The Iliad for boys and girls by A.J. Church. The Iliad translated into direct and simple prose. Homer. Stories from the Iliad by H.L. Havell. The atmosphere and spirit of the Iliad are well kept in this most excellent prose version of the Iliad. It may be used with older boys and girls and is a valuable aid in the preparation of the stories. NORSE CYCLE STORIES. Norse Myths 1. Beginning of all things. 2. How Odin lost his eye. How Odin brought the mead to Asgard. 3. Sif's hair. 4. Iduna's apples. 5. Thor and the Frost giants. 6. Balder and the Mistletoe. 7. Binding of the Fenris wolf. 8. Punishment of Loki. 9. Twilight of the gods and the new earth. Nibelungen Lied. 10. Forging of the sword. 11. Story of Greyfell. 12. Curse of gold. 13. Fafnir, the dragon. 14. Awakening of Brunhilda. _Sources for the story teller:_ Northern mythology: Anderson, R.B. Norse mythology. A complete and systematic presentation of the Norse mythology as embodied in the elder and younger Eddas and later sagas. Brown, A.F. In the days of giants. The best form for younger children. A simple narration of the main facts of Norse mythology in story form, suggesting the strength of the original sagas. Buxton, E.M. Wilmot. Stories of Norse heroes. A very satisfactory collection of Northern myths, including the story of the Nibelungs. Bulfinch, Thomas. Age of Fable. An excellent text book. Gives three chapters to Northern mythology. Carlyle, Thomas. The hero as divinity; Odin. _In his_ Heroes and hero-worship. This essay is most interesting and inspiring to the story-teller who is presenting Scandinavian mythology. Mabie, H.W. Norse stories. In this collection the rugged strength of the Norse tales is modified by a style that polishes and a beauty which (however delightful in reading), could have been present only in a vague way in the original stories. Nibelungen Lied. Fall of the Nibelungers; tr. by W.N. Lettsom. Most of the adaptations are based on this translation. The Nibelungs; tr. from the German of F. Schmidt by G. Upton. _Adaptations:_ Baldwin, James. Story of Siegfried. A version of that part of the Nibelungen Lied which relates to the story of Siegfried. Incidentally the most important myths of the Norse gods are woven into the story. The most popular children's version, but very freely adapted. Chapin, A.A. Story of the Rhinegold. Stories of Richard Wagner's four operas which form the 'Nibelungen Cycle.' The treatment of the theme is full of strength but differs from other versions of the Nibelungen story. Church, A.J. Treasure of the Nibelungs. _In his_ Heroes of Chivalry and romance. Brief account of the Nibelung story, leading to fuller versions. McSpadden, J.W. Stories from Wagner. Contains the stories in simple form of a number of Wagner's great operas. The tale of the Rhinegold, as given here, is the best of the versions of Wagner for children. Morris, William. Story of Sigurd the bolsung. Very charming poetical version. KING ARTHUR TALES. 1. How Arthur proved his kingship. 2. The winning of the queen. 3. How the Round Table was established. 4. Three Knights of the Round Table: Sir Launcelot, first champion. Who was held by all men to be the most excellent, noble perfect knight champion who was ever seen in the world from the very beginning of chivalry unto the time when his son Sir Galahad appeared, like a bright star of extraordinary splendor shining in the sky.--_Pyle_. 5. Sir Tristram, second champion. If Sir Launcelot was the chiefest of all the knights who ever came unto King Arthur's court, then it is hard to say whether Sir Tristram or Sir Percival was second unto him in renown.--_Pyle_. 6. Sir Percival, third champion. 7. Quest of the Grail. The recovery of the Grail was the crowning glory of the reign of King Arthur.--_Pyle_. 8. Passing of Arthur. And I do hope that you may have found pleasure in considering their lives. For me seemed they offered a very high example that anyone might follow to his betterment who lives in this world where so much that is ill needs to be amended.--_Pyle_. _Additional stories_: Story of Merlin. The boy of the kitchen, Sir Gareth. Marriage of Sir Gawaine. Story of Balin. _Sources for the story teller_: Malory, Sir Thomas. Boy's King Arthur ed. by Sidney Lanier. Follows the Malory tales very closely. The greater part of the language is unchanged, though the spelling is modernized. Lanier has divided the tales into six books, grouping the stories around a central hero from whom the books derive their name. Book 1. King Arthur, 2. Sir Launcelot, 3. Sir Gareth, 4. Sir Tristram, 5. Sir Galahad and Sir Percival, 6. Death of King Arthur. Malory, Sir Thomas. Book of King Arthur and his noble knights; ed. by Mary Macleod. Tales selected from Le morte D'Arthur and simplified. Covers the whole period of the reign of King Arthur and includes stories of some of his knights, Sir Launcelot, Sir Gareth, Sir Tristram, and Sir Galahad. Pyle, Howard. Story of King Arthur and his knights. --Story of Sir Launcelot and his companions. --Story of the champions of the Round Table. --Story of the Grail and the passing of Arthur. Very complete and free versions of the Arthurian legends from Malory and other sources. The style is delightful and the language beautiful. Illustrated by the author. Tennyson, Alfred. Idylls of the King. _Contents_: Coming of Arthur; The Round Table; Gareth and Lynette; Marriage of Geraint; Geraint and Enid; Balin and Balan; Merlin and Vivien; Lancelot and Elaine, The Holy Grail; Pelleas and Ettarre; The last tournament; Guinevere; The passing of Arthur. Portions of the Arthur legends told in poetic form. CHARLEMAGNE AND ROLAND LEGENDS. 1. Roland's youth. 2. The story of Ogier, the Dane. 3. The story of Ralph. 4. "A Roland for an Oliver." 5. The deeds of Magwis and Reinold of Montalban. 6. The battle of Roncesvalles. _Sources for the story teller_: Baldwin, James. The story of Roland. Some of the many legends of French chivalry that cluster around the names of Charlemagne and Roland, translated into English prose and woven into a story with Roland as the center of interest. The main incidents have been derived from a variety of sources, but the arrangement and connecting parts are the author's own invention, making the whole an acceptable and interesting version. Church, A.J. Stories of Charlemagne. The old tales shortened and compressed but still retaining life and color and reflecting the spirit of the times. Five of the legends which are distinct in themselves have been used. "The four sons of Aymon," "Ralph, the Collier," "Fireabras," "The song of Roland," and "Duke Huon of Bordeaux." Greene, F.N., and Kirk, D.W. With spurs of gold. A short account of Roland and Charlemagne, dealing principally with the battle of Roncesvalles. Maitland, Louise. Heroes of chivalry. Contains a very clear, brief account of the life and adventures of Roland, divided into five parts. Roland. The song of Roland, translated into English verse; O'Hagan. The story of the Battle of Roncesvalles, The spirit of chivalry, the bravery of the knights, the friendship of Roland and Oliver, and the treachery of Ganelon are all told in stirring, rhythmic verse.

Fine common-sense is used in all that is said on the purpose of story-telling, the selection of stories and how to adapt and to tell the story. Some specific uses of the story in the school room are given besides a graded collection of thirty-two stories and a short list of books in which the story teller will find stories not too far from the form in which they are needed. Cowles, J.D. The art of story telling. A useful elementary book. Contains about 50 stories in form suited to young children. Lyman, Edna. Story telling; what to tell and how to tell it. Story telling; what to tell and how to tell it. "The purpose of this book is not in any way to attempt to give information to those who have devoted both time and study to the subject or who have had practical experience in story telling, but rather to make a few suggestions to those mothers, teachers and librarians who are interested in its use as a phase of another occupation." The chapters on "Reading aloud to children" and "Arranging the program of miscellaneous stories" are particularly suggestive. Contains good outlines for cycle story hours for older children. Olcott, F.J. Story telling poems. There is an introduction addressed to the story-teller suggesting ways in which the poems may be used. The poems are indexed under such ethical subjects as courage, humility, etc. _Other sources:_ Bryant, S.C. Stories to tell to children. Fifty-one stories with some suggestions for telling. There is a clear statement of the value to the child of the type of story which specifically teaches a certain ethical lesson and also the kind of story that has no moral to offer. The author believes in telling one to three in favor of the latter kind. The book also contains a few principles underlying the dramatization of stories for young children. Clemens, Samuel L. How to tell a story. The different methods required in telling witty, comic and humorous stories. Houghton, Mrs. L.S. Telling Bible stories. The author aims to inspire mothers and teachers to use the Old Testament stories more freely in developing the religious nature of the child. Keyes, A.M. Stories and story-telling. The author is head of the Department of English in the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers. Besides a discussion of method and theory the book contains about 75 stories, including a good selection of short stories suitable for young children to reproduce. MacClintock, P.L. Literature in the elementary school. Chapters 4 and 5 are suggestive in regard to analyzing a story and the characteristics of a good story. Partridge, E.N. _and_ G.E. Story telling in school and home. A large part of the book is devoted to the use of the story in teaching language, history, nature study and to its place in moral education. There are 18 well chosen stories re-told from myths, legends, fables and history. Ransome, Arthur. A history of story-telling; studies in the development of narrative. The chapter on "Origins" deals with story-telling outside books. St. John, E.P. Stories and story telling in moral and religious education. A book on methods written from a sane point of view. At the end of each chapter are many quotations from such authors as G. Stanley Hall, Felix Adler, Froebel, and George Adam Smith, and also a bibliography. Wyche, R.T. Some great stories and how to tell them. Emphasis is laid upon the psychological principles and the spiritual equipment in telling stories. The epic stories of Siegfried, Beowulf and Ulysses are given prominence with a retelling of Beowulf and four stories from King Arthur. One chapter is devoted to the "Story teller's league" and its work. INDEX TO TITLES OF STORIES AND SELECTIONS.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit https://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: https://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. *** END: FULL LICENSE ***
