ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the important business of telling stories to children, with particular reference to the problem presented to the story-teller by the children’s inability to understand generalised words. It suggests that the would-be story teller should buy a special copy of the Gospels and read them carefully through, marking in the margin those passages and incidents which he thinks would work up into suitable stories. The references of the passages may also be entered in a notebook and a subject-heading supplied for each. Tightness of telling Bible stories to children with a lot of imaginary detail added, a good deal of it probably inappropriate to the real Gospel setting.
