Art of the Story-Teller

In spite of a strong taste on the part of children for what is ugly and brutal, I am sure that we ought to eliminate this element as far as possible from the school stories, especially among poor children. Not because I think children should be protected from all knowledge of evil, but because so much of this knowledge comes into their life outside school that we can well afford to ignore it during school hours.Shedlock, Marie L. is the author of 'Art of the Story-Teller', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419152719 and ISBN 1419152718.
