Stories and Story-telling

About the author
Angela M. Keyes, also listed as Angela Mary Keyes, is known for educational and children’s books published in the early 1900s. Confirmed works associated with her include Stories and Story-telling, The Five Senses, and When Mother Lets Us Play.
Her books suggest a strong interest in childhood learning and in using stories as a teaching tool. Stories and Story-telling, first published in 1911, points to her place in a tradition of educators and writers who saw reading aloud, imagination, and guided play as important parts of a child’s development.
Very little biographical information about her appears to be readily available in major public reference sources, so details about her life beyond her published works are unclear. Even so, her surviving books still give a clear sense of an author engaged with children’s education in a thoughtful, approachable way.
