| Summary |
"The Art of Story-Telling" by Julia Darrow Cowles is a collection of instructional essays written in the early 20th century. This work aims to enhance the skills of story-telling among caregivers and educators, emphasizing both the artistic and ethical dimensions of sharing stories with children. It offers insights on how to select, tell, and utilize stories effectively in various settings, such as at home and in schools. The opening of the book introduces the concept of story-telling primarily in the home, where it serves not just to entertain but also to nurture character and strengthen the bond between mother and child. Cowles explains that stories told in a nurturing setting can leave lasting impressions on a child's development, shaping their moral foundation and literary taste. She encourages mothers to embrace the role of a storyteller, highlighting the profound impact that well-chosen and thoughtfully delivered tales can have on children. Additionally, she discusses how different types of stories—fairy tales, fables, or even biblical accounts—can be woven into daily life and tasks, enriching the child's world and facilitating their emotional and moral growth.
