From 1001 Nights to 2001 Story Resources II: Stor e Telling 2014

Scheherazade und Sultan Schariar
by
Ferdinand Keller, 1880

The tale of the Persian beauty Scheherazade is one all storytellers are familiar with, a woman who saved her own life by sharing 1000 stories by the end of 1001 nights. I began writing the Stor e Telling column for Storytelling Magazine in 2002 and since then I have reviewed well over 2001 storytelling and educational websites, as well as individual folktales, fairy tales, myths and legends.

Last year I posted all of my columns from 2014. I have listed them all below so they will be easier to locate. In additional, you will find a link that will take you to all of the articles and resources from 2007 to 2012. I have also begun rechecking all of the links in my columns from 2015 and recently posted the very first article from January/February 2015; the theme was Drama. http://www.karenchace.blogspot.com/2016/01/drama-stor-e-telling-january-february.html

I invite you to return often for more resources as I continue to share my work. Please let me if you find this useful in your work; thank you for stopping by!
