                HOW TO TELL STORIES TO CHILDREN AND SOME STORIES TO TELL 



old gallows and seating them before the dangling remains of a murderer; 

while the lesson of brotherly love is impressed are shocking when they are 

not amusing; but to the child the doings of the naughty and repentant little 

Fairchilds are engrossing; and experience proves to us that the twentieth… 

century child is as eager for the book as were ever his nineteenth…century 

grandfather and grandmother。 

     Good Mrs Timmin's History of the Robins; too; is a continuous delight; 

and from its pompous and high…sounding dialogue a skilful adapter may 

glean not only one story; but one story with two versions; for the infant of 

eighteen months can follow the narrative of the joys and troubles; errors 

and   kindnesses   of   Robin;   Dicky;   Flopsy   and   Pecksy;   while   the   child   of 

five or ten or even more will be keenly interested in a fuller account of the 

birds' adventures and the development of their several characters and those 

of their human friends and enemies。 

     From these two books; from Miss Edgeworth's wonderful Moral Tales; 

from Miss Wetherell's delightful volume Mr Rutherford's Children; from 

Jane and Ann Taylor's Original Poems; from Thomas Day's Sandford and 

Merton;      from    Bunyan's      Pilgrim's    Progress     and   Lamb's     Tales    from 

Shakespeare; and from many another old friend; stories may be gathered; 

but    the  story   teller  will  find  that   in  almost    all  cases  adaptation     is  a 

necessity。   The   joy   of   the   hunt;   however;   is   a   real   joy;   and   with   a   field 

which stretches from the myths of Greece to Uncle Remus; from Le Morte 

d'Arthur to the Jungle Books; there need be no more lack of pleasure for 

the seeker than for the receiver of the spoil。
