About the book

The author, a storyteller, musician, folklorist, and teacher, went to English-as-second-language courses, first in Chicago then elsewhere, both to share with young immigrants some of the English-language oral traditions, and to elicit from them folktales from their own cultures and families. He sets out the process he used so that others can follow him, and shares stories from Latin America, eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

First sentence: The tools we will be wielding in this project are the ancient traditional folk art of storytelling and the relatively modern scholarly discipline of folklore.
