With simple suggestions, she instructs the reader in the art of storytelling and freeing the creative imagination by disciplining the mind. Sawyer's guide also includes an engaging selection of international stories sure to enchant both children and adults. The Way of the Storyteller also is an invaluable resource with a comprehensive reading and story list.Ruth Sawyer was the pen name of Ruth Sawyer Durand, an American children's book author who lived from August 5, 1880 until June 3, 1970.
