Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Juvenile Story Writing
Although many books on story writing have been evolved for the use of the beginner, they have all been directed toward the creation of stories for adults. The art of story telling for children has been the basis for a number of books, but the technique of story writing for them has never been separated from that of writing for adults.
Work with my classes in Juvenile Writing at Columbia University has convinced me that there is a legitimate place for a book which deals with the special needs of young people in their litera ture. The present text has grown out of lectures and discussions connected with the classes at the University. This book is intended for parents, teachers, writers, or any person who is interested in an attempt to provide for children the kind of writing which will satisfy their growing needs and will develop in them a hunger for more and better sustenance.
The lists of books appended to the various chapters are by no means meant to be exhaustive.
