For storytellers looking for a quick short story, this definitely works. For teachers of storytelling looking for the "bones" of a story to let students develop their own version, this is also a good resource on a par with Pleasant DeSpain's brief stories. The international assortment adds to its usefulness. In addition, the author's categories, whether by age, time (including under 30 seconds), or category of story is useful. If a storyteller needs to include audience participation, the brevity of the stories is a help & this author is outstanding in all her anthologies for including possible participation material. The final chapter, "Endless Tales and Tales to End the Telling" are particularly helpful. As might be expected in books from Dr. MacDonald, the documentation on each story's source & bibliography of further material are also well done.
