This little book came into being at the instance of my teaching friends. Their requests for more stories of the kind which were given in How to TellStories to Children, and especially their urging that the stories they liked, in my telling, should be set down in print, seemed to justify the hope that the collection would be genuinely useful to them. That it may be, is the earnest desire with which it is offered. I hope it will be found to contain some stories which are new to the teachers and friends of little children, and some which are familiar, but in an easier form for telling than is usual. And I shall indeed be content if its value to those who read it is proportionate to the pleasure and mental stimulus which has come to me in the work among pupils and teachers which accompanied its preparation.
The Epaminondas character is a young black boy, and the stories are based on folk tales from the Southern states of the U.S., similar to Helen Bannerman's The Story of Little Black Sambo, which was originally written about a boy from Southern India but was later illustrated in many printings with characterizations of African Americans.The stories' texts focus on and derive their humor from the problem of miscommunication between adults and children. This same concept of ridiculous/comical scenarios due to simple misunderstandings is also the basis for the famous Amelia Bedelia book series.
Within this book, beloved children's author Sara Cone Bryant offers advice on how to convert fidgety listeners into enthralled ones in a few simple, easy-to-follow lessons. Covering such subjects as selecting, adapting, and voicing stories, this concise guide will teach you how to grab and hold children's attention when reading stories to them. You will also be taught how to appropriately adapt each tale to the length, language, and content suitable for children of most ages. "How to Tell Stories to Children and Some Stories to Tell" will be of considerable utility to both parents and teachers, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector. Sara Cone Bryant (born 1873) was the author of various children's book in the early 20th century.

Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
