Storytelling is Influence, Persuasion and Innovation.
Books for Storytellers
Storytelling Books for Newbies
These books helped a lot when I first started storytelling. Easy to read and the authors suggest ideas to enhance the storytelling.
Great Collection of stories
Lots of stories that are useful with our local audience including teens.
More Stories!
I found stories that are fun to tell to children here. The chinese book on the right has great ideas on how to present stories in different format like a folding book that unfolds as you tell.
