Seeger's musical concerts may be better known than his storytelling, but, in truth, his musical lyrics tell stories: of family, of history, of injustice, of social movements, and/or are just plain fun. Librarians, parents, grandparents, and school and Sunday-school teachers will find encouragement here to try their wings and allow their creative imaginations to develop into shaping songs and stories. Seeger often infuses his original stories and retellings of known tales with messages for making the world a better place. He likes to stretch many of his stories toward the outlandish or illogical, yet they hold the central core of truth and get the point across. Margaret Read MacDonald's The Storyteller's Start-Up Book (August House, 1993) is a more serious, straightforward, and indispensable guide for beginning tellers. The book gives a jump start to the imagination and makes a nice addition to the collection.-Judy Sokoll, Florida Storytelling Association, Naples, Wonderful fun for everyone."-The New York Times Book Review Valuable for parents, teachers, camp counselors, and librarians, this cozy collection will not only be a ready resource but also may encourage novice storytellers to strike out on their own."-Booklist Every page in Storytelling is delightful. A good reminder that storytelling is a proven method of imparting wisdom."-Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Claiming that America is becoming "a nation of spectators" blind to their own folklore, Seeger presents this earnest collection to catalyze our collective imagination and resuscitate the country's oral tradition. The 80-year-old singer/songwriter/activist smartly anticipates that his audience (modern, pressed-for-time parents) will be daunted, so he offers helpful, if commonsensical, advice: start with something familiar (folktales, the Bible, Shakespeare), do not worry about structure or length and be spontaneous. "What's important is to create an atmosphere of sharing," he rightly observes in the introduction. "Kids are more interested in you than the plot." With the help of freelance writer and poet DuBois Jacobs, Seeger recounts more than 25 of his favorite tales in their entiretyAsome from American history ("The Emancipation Proclamation"), others from late-19th- and early-20th-century rounds and lullabies ("Dick Whittington and His Cat"), as well as selections from Seeger's and his father's oeuvres ("The Intelligent Lightbulbs"). All of them resonate with the balladeer's worldly voice and, of course, have a moralAusually about the power of music or the importance of hard workAthat children will be able to grasp and apply to real life. In the case of stories based on traditional songs (e.g., "Sam, the Whaler" goes along with the 19th-century whaling song, "The Hudson Whalers"), Seeger has also reproduced a few bars of music. A nice touch is chapter six, the closing section, which consists solely of story beginnings that Seeger urges readers to build on.
