The stories in this collection have been gathered from Waldorf early childhood teachers all over the country who long to share what they love with those who love children. Many are original tales, created out of the imagination of the teacher and his or her love for the children; some spring from nature or a seasonal festival, like the seasonal tales you will find here. And some are classic favorites, changed over the years through the telling but still holding all the elements we remember. And, because it is in the sharing--the telling--that a story comes alive, so that we can meet one another in a world outside of time and space, the more you tell stories, the more you will hear, "Tell me another story." --from the Introduction by Louise deForest
