Stories and Story-telling
by Angela M. (Angela Mary) Keyes
About the author
Angela M. Keyes, also listed as Angela Mary Keyes, was an American teacher and writer of children’s literature. Library and public-domain records identify her as the author of Stories and Story-telling, and related cataloging records describe her as a children’s book author and educator.
Her writing points to a strong interest in how stories work in the classroom and in children’s lives. Stories and Story-telling presents storytelling not just as entertainment, but as a lively part of education, with an emphasis on imagination, memory, and moral growth.
Although detailed biographical information appears to be limited in the sources available, cataloging records connect her with Brooklyn, New York, and list her life dates as 1879–1936. That makes her a small but interesting figure among early American writers who treated storytelling as a serious and joyful craft.
