Description

Gabrielle Cliff Hodges (ed); Mary Jane Drummond (ed); Morag Styles (ed).

Stories by Chaucer, Shakespeare & George Macdonald, for example, are considered alongside other genres such as first person poetry, oral storytelling from different cultures & the visual narratives of picture books. Popular multimedia texts are discussed while more traditional narratives are given a new twist in the form of contemp’y. historical fiction. Contributors include: Eve Bearne, Jane Doonan & Judith Graham. Three British storytellers -- Kevin Crossley Holland, Hugh Lupton & Michael Rosen -- reveal their thoughts on the creative processes that lie behind the narratives that our children experience. Illustrated.
