Visiting the world of imagination,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Grammar of Fantasy: An Introduction to the Art of Inventing Stories (Paperback)
This Italian classic is a marvelous exploration of the worlds of creativity and imagination. The author's profound understanding of the child's unspoiled imagination shines through these collected reflections on the art of inventing stories. The book includes dozens of exercises designed to inspire the creation of stories and, ultimately, to foster a love for language and storytelling. Rodari shows teachers how to stir young imaginations by building on simple words, phrases, and rhymes; juxtaposing seemingly unrelated words and images; creating "what if" scenarios; rewriting popular folk tales; speculating on "what happens next"; using toys and puppets as props; drawing comic books; and so on. Analyzing the essential nature of stories, jokes, riddles, and poetry, Rodari delves deep into the mysterious heart of the creative process and vividly illuminates it for the reader. This book is a must-read for teachers of literature and for anyone who has ever marveled at the art of the storyteller.
