Review:

"This unique 'how to' book teaches more than just the art of storytelling: it invites us to rediscover an older, and wiser, way of experiencing our humanity." Nicholas Nicastro, author, Antigone's Wake



"This is a story that teaches how to tell a story---by example. . . . The spirit of this book can be summed up in two words: respect and creativity, increasingly scarce in today's world . . . of special interest to teachers, librarians, and therapists." New Age Retailer (July 1, 2011)

"Captivating and entertaining with a warm, inviting tone. It reads like a fascinating collection of stories rather than a didactic 'how-to.'. . . [This] should be read by anyone who works with children, whether a parent, teacher, librarian, or children's program leader." ForeWord Reviews (April 1, 2011)

"Telling a good story is more useful than one would think . . . [it] can get your message across in a way that plain speaking won't. . . . [This is] fascinating reading, a must for any who want to embrace the way of the story." Midwest Book Review (July 1, 2011)

"A compelling read full of the wisdom and skills of storytelling . . . explores both inner (psychological and spiritual realm of what is communicated in the telling) and outer (technique and physical presentation) domains of storytelling; I very much enjoyed this book." Fact and Fiction (July 2011)

"Along with learning and accessing the spiritual side of the stories, the book also explains how to become a storyteller, to expand the readers' consciousness and to pass on the wisdom and insight to others." —www.KindredSpirit.co.uk
