The Stories Children Tell: Making Sense of the Narratives of Childhood Susan Engel
In this work, a developmental psychologist examines the methods and meanings of children's narratives. Engel explores: the different functions of the storytelling process; the way the storytelling process changes as the child grows older; the different types of stories children tell; and the development of a child's narrative voice. Research findings and examinations of actual children's tales highlight this study.
