Troubadour's Story Bag: Musical Folktales of the World

Divided into themes like ""Musical Miracles"" and ""Flutes and Panpipes,"" Troubadour's Storybag: Musical Folktales of the World by Norma J. Livo presents 38 stories. Each of its six sections ends with a list of suggested activities, like finding pertinent pictures and recordings; meeting with musicians and instrument makers; and making instruments from household items and found objects. This collection appeals to the ear more than the eye-it is unillustrated-but is a useful resource for discovering the overlapping roles of story and song.
