Troubador's Storybag (Paperback)

Nearly 40 stories have been collected from around the world and retold to celebrate the universal language of music. Well-known favorites, such as "The Pied Piper" and "The Magic Flute," are joined by lesser-known tales, such as "How the Fiddle Came to the Gypsies" and "The Singing Bone." Stories are drawn from Japan, China, Africa, Central and South America, and many European countries. Organized thematically, each section includes recommendations for comparison, activities, and extensions. Musicians, music lovers, storytellers, teachers, librarians, and parents will welcome this addition to folk literature.
