The cover design uas made especially for this listBY FRITZ EICHENBERG
ForewordIT IS ALMOST FORTY YEARS since the First Edition of
Stories was compiled by Mary Could Davis, andalmost sixty years since the Storytellers of The NewYork Public Library began to weave their spell ofenchantment over the children of New York. In acity so characterized by change, storytelling stillretains its magic. Children still delight in the ab-surdities of Carl Sandburg, appreciate the cleverwit of Howard Pyle, and respond to the sensitivebeauty of Hans Christian Andersen. There is joy-ous exuberence in the cry, "Here comes the StoryLady!" Adults, too, are coming to a greater appre-ciation of the art, and to a new realization of itsvalues for the young.
This List is not definitive either as a whole or inany of its parts. Its purpose is to introduce thebeginning storyteller to folk and fairy literaturewhich children have acclaimed, and to lead himto source material which will help him develop hisart. Some of the stories in the Fifth Edition havebeen dropped because the books are out of print.In some cases editions have been changed becausemore recent ones seem to have greater value forthe Story Hour. Picture books have been includedonly when the story can stand without pictures. Amain entry has been listed from an out of printbook when it is considered the best version of the
5
story but always a secondary entry has been listedfrom a book in print which includes the same story.In answer to many requests, the Name Index hasbeen expanded to inchide the titles of the collec-tions from which the stories have been selected.
The "For Reading Aloud" section includes mod-ern and traditional poetry as well as stories. Poetrymay be used to set the stage for the Story houror to add variety to the program.
The section "For the Storyteller" includes re-cordings by well-known storytellers or of authorsreading from their own works. While a recordingnever can substitute for the living person, thebeginning storyteller can learn much about timing,voice control, manner of presentation, etc., bylistening to the recordings of accomplished story-tellers.
The editor gratefully acknowledges the specialhelp of the four storytellers who have worked onthis revision: Maria Cimino, Katherine Lutz, AnnePellowski and Mary Strang. She also wishes toacknowledge the encouragement and guidance ofAugusta Baker whose comprehensive knowledgeof folk literature is reflected in this list.

Stories"These tales were made not for reading, but for telling.
Be you not content with reading them; tell them andrealize a new joy, the joy of storytelling, which sur-passes as far the pleasure of story - reading as the eatingof a good dinner surpasses the sniffing of it."
