From Mouth to Page
by ROBERT D. SAN SOUCI
Many storytellers share their tales with audiences around the world today. But stories reach an even wider audience through books and magazines. Tales that were once recited to royalty or told around campfires can now be found in printed form. A
Great myths have been retold in countless books. Tales of legendary figures like King Arthur and Hiawatha are told in the written word as well as the spoken word. Stories go through changes when they move from spoken form to the written word. Storytelling allows the speaker to change a story’s details to suit the audience. And storytellers—like writers—have different styles. They often add personal touches ( jokes, local references). These make the tales more entertaining and meaningful. Once a story has been written down, however, the writer cannot continue “tinkering” with the text. (Of course, different writers might tell a folktale or fairy tale in quite different ways. For example, there are many versions of the “Cinderella” story that feature various cultures and settings. Some are funny or modern while others are more traditional.) B
Many changes occur as a story is written down. A storyteller has ways of making a story come alive by changing his voice, gesturing with her hands, widening his eyes. All of this has to be described and written down when the story is in print. But a good writer, like a good storyteller, must keep a tale fast-moving, understandable, and expressed in colorful and vivid language. And a good tale-spinner will never change the inner truth of a story, whether speaking it or writing it. Really good tales usually contain truths about the human heart and messages of hope and wisdom. These elements give the story richness, depth, and value, no matter what form it takes. B
Today, many storytellers turn to books to find tales to tell. At the same time, more and more collections of folktales from around the world are being published. Together, storytellers and writers are keeping alive these wonderful tales, enriching the lives of listeners and readers everywhere.
