The Storyteller's Handbook

Author(s): Elise Hurst (Illustrator); Neil Gaiman (Forward)

PICTURE BOOKS

This is a wordless picture book of 52 fantastical images, created by illustrator Elise Hurst, and with a foreword by Neil Gaiman. It is a book full of storytelling ingredients to help your imagination fly, which means that for every person who opens the book, the stories that spring to life will be unique. There are so many intricate details. What will you notice? What happens next? And where will this experience take you? There are no rules, just a beautiful enticement to come and play.


“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
