Great Storytelling Books
The 398.2 section of the library is numbered according to the Dewey Decimal System which organizes the book collections of public libraries and school libraries into subject categories to make it easier to locate literary materials. The folktales, fairytales and fables of the world are shelved in this nonfiction area. Both the children’s section and the adult section of the library have a 398.2 folktale area. These simplified versions of multicultural oral tales are an excellent source of folktale plots with which to explore the storytelling process. By retelling folktales one can gain insights into the similarities and differences of peoples around the world. (Taken from Heather Forest’s website)

- The “Story Ideas” section of the Spellbinders website (spellbinders.org) contains many stories that are in the “Public Domain” and are therefore tellable. This section also references a “Resources” section that contains references and links to a variety of websites, books, and authors. Many of these resources clearly are not in the public domain, but you will find under “Resources” a list of “Public Domain Resources” where you can find two sites that will provide more than enough stories. They are www.worldoftales.com and www.gutenberg.com
- At least two storytellers with many stories give permission on their websites to tell some of those stories. They are:
- Aaron Sheppard (aaronshep.com) offers a section called “Gifts of Story.” Any of these stories can be told for “fun or profit,” but you cannot sell recordings of the stories. Most of the stories in his “World of Stories” section are copyrighted, but many have detailed notes about the original versions and you might be able to create your own version.
- Richard Martin (tellatale.eu) offers a “Permission to Tell” section in which he not only permits but encourages others to tell his stories. He specializes in folk tales and has a delightful (sometimes bawdy) telling style.
