Getting Ready For Your Program

[[Example text: Folk tales are the most common source of stories for burgeoning storytellers. Immersing yourself in some classic stories is a great way to prepare for this class.

We’ll definitely be drawing from the classic Grimm’s collection of tales from Europe. My recommended collection is the Jack Zipes translation, here’s a link to Amazon if you want to purchase it.

Project Gutenberg has a public domain text available that was translated by Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes.

Aesop’s Fables is another classic. Here’s the Project Gutenburg translation by George Townsend.
