D. appleton & company. Some years ago I heard Miss Shedlock tell stories in England. Her fine sense of literary and dramatic values, her power in sympathetic interpretation, always restrained within the limits of the art she was using, and her understanding of educational values, based on a wide experience of teaching, all marked her as an artist in story-telling. She was equally at home in interpreting the subtle blending of wit and wisdom in Daudet, the folk lore philosophy of Grimm, or the deeper world philosophy and poignant human appeal of Hans Christian Andersen.

ART OF THE STORY TELLER, by MARIE L. SHEDLOCK. Some day we shall have a science of education comparable to the science of medicine; but even when that day arrives the art of education will still remain the inspiration and the guide of all wise teachers. Those who have the artist's spirit will find their sense of values quickened by her words, and they will be led to escape some of the errors into which even the greatest artists fall.

Story-telling is almost the oldest art in the world-the first conscious form of literary communication. In the East it still survives, and it is not an uncommon thing to see a crowd at a street corner held by the simple narration of a story. There are signs in the West of a growing interest in this ancient art, and we may yet live to see the renaissance of the troubadours and the minstrels whose appeal will then rival that of the mob orator or itinerant politician.

I knew of Marie Shedlock from reading Ruth Sawyers similar book, "The Way of the Story teller". Marie Shedlock was an enchanting story teller in her day. She spoke fluent French and could tell tales in English or french and was spellbinding in either language. Her approach and appreciation of storytelling, particularly to children, reflect the times in which she lived, very different from our own day. Nevertheless her grasp of the art of storytelling and how the mind of children might receive a tale is impressive and her suggestions and advice are as relevant today as they were in 1915. For instance she notes how inflection or repetition may be used or misused, much depending on the age of the hearers.
In the book she includes many of her favorite stories for the telling and for those who aspire to the storytelling field these tales would be a worthy addition to their repertoire. But remember, storytelling is a form of theater and both Marie Shedlock and Ruth Sawyer were practiced in the art of it, being able to present the circumstances and portray the characters vividly.
