Editorial Reviews

VOYA
De Vos, author of the useful Tales, Rumors, and Gossip (Libraries Unlimited, 1996/VOYA October 1996), updates her collection of recommended stories for young adults in this newest edition. Brief synopses of the stories are arranged in themed chapters about the fantastic, laughter, folktales, tales of life, tales of the spirit, and tales of the arts and sciences. A few samples are given in their entirety. Author, theme, and title indexes are included as well as a list of the story collections in which the tales appear. For the purposes of this book, the term young adult refers to teens between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. The strength of this text is that the author has been storytelling with teens for fifteen years, so the recommended stories have the force of being "tried and true" with this age group. Stories also reflect the diversity of many cultures. In addition, useful features can be found, such as a chart with stories behind the days of the week. It will be helpful for the beginning storyteller in choosing material, particularly in the school setting, and for educators who are trying to find popular stories for the teen audience. 2003, Libraries Unlimited, 208p.; Index. Biblio., $35 PLB. Ages 17 to Adult.
—Evie Wilson-Lingbloom
School Library Journal
This updated manual has been given an attractive, modern cover; the writing is more accessible; and the use of more appealing fonts, sidebars, and bullets makes the text much easier to understand. The author stresses the importance of telling stories to young adults, and offers good advice on selecting material that will interest them. Following a chapter on storytelling basics, the book is arranged by theme and includes myths, legends, and folklore. Each section is followed by a short bibliography. All of the titles are new to this edition, so those who have the first edition will want to keep it and add this fine handbook. Title and theme indexes are included. This is a real gem for anyone working with teens.-Susannah Price, Boise Public Library, ID Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
