The Storyteller's Handbook: 52 Illustrations to Inspire Your Own Tales and Adventures

Overview

"Take the pictures you find here, and use them as places to begin your journey into stories. Wonder about them, wander through them. Let them hold your hand and whisper to you… Let them bring you into stories and make magic." —Neil Gaiman, an excerpt from the book's foreword



Stories are doorways, and there are no limits to where they may lead. This is a handbook for you to create countless stories. Its fantastical illustrations are the beginnings of magical new adventures. But there are no accompanying words, because you, the storyteller, are the missing ingredient!



Here are 52 intricate illustrations—of intriguing characters and animals, strange lands, and mythical beings. Open to any page and imagine what is happening, what has been, or what can be! Whether you're exploring the images on a road trip, before bedtime, or as a classroom activity, every tale you tell will be wildly unique and 100% yours.

Featuring a foreword by Neil Gaiman, this is a one-of-a-kind storytelling book that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike!

About the Author

Elise Hurst is an Australian fine artist, illustrator and author, specializing in books for children. Her most recent book was the illustrated edition of The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, and Girl on Wire by Lucy Estela, which was shortlisted for the Children's Book Council of Australia 2019 Awards. She lives in a house full of books and paintings. From her studio, where black pens and oil paints spill across the desk, magical worlds leap into being. Like something out of Beatrix Potter or Narnia, her friends are rabbits and bears, lions and tigers—and they all have a story to share.
