This practical and inspirational book introduces readers to the value of storytelling throughout life, discussing the importance of traditional tales, and how they can transform our lives from childhood through to old age.
Children develop emotional intelligence by being immersed in stories that deal with the challenges they face in growing up.

She goes on to discuss the therapeutic value of stories throughout our adult lives, how they help us to approach challenges creatively, giving examples of how stories can be used in group development sessions.
Felce considers the difference between telling and reading a story, offering practical advice on body language and presentation skills.
