Burning Brightly

Burning Brightly is the first full-length book treatment of professional storytelling in North America today. For some years there has been a major storytelling revival throughout the continent, with hundreds of local groups and centres springing up, and with storytelling becoming an important part of the professional training for librarians. In the book, Stone explores storytelling through storytellers themselves, while providing enlightening commentary from her own background as a storyteller. Included in her analysis are informative discussions of organized storytelling communities, individual tellers, and tales. Issues such as the modern recontextualization of old tales and the role of women in folktales are linked to individual storytelling accounts. Texts of eight stories that exemplify the approaches of the various storytellers are also included. Burning Brightly will be compelling reading for storytellers—and for everyone who loves storytelling.

Undisciplined Women

Redressing a neglect of women's traditions and feminist perspectives in Canadian folklore studies, 20 contributions discuss female experiences of traditional culture from feminist viewpoints. The authors look at the effect of gender on the collecting and interpreting of women's folklore, negative and positive images of women in traditional and popular culture, and women's use of creativity in their everyday lives. Some contributors are nonacademics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Some Day Your Witch Will Come

In this enjoyable volume, Kay Stone has selected writings from her scholarly articles and books spanning 1975-2004 that contain reflections on the value of fairy tales as adult literature. The title Some Day Your Witch Will Come twists a Walt Disney lyric to challenge the typical fairy-tale framework and is a nod to Stone's innovative and sometimes unconventional perspective. As a whole, this collection is a fascinating look at both the evolution of a career and the recent history of fairy-tale scholarship.
