The Story Tellers' Magazine, Vol. I, No. 2, July 1913

In this charming early‑twentieth‑century periodical, young readers are invited into a world where myth, music, and everyday adventure sit side by side. The pages are filled with short tales, poems, and essays that celebrate the imagination of childhood while subtly echoing the values of the time. Between stories, the magazine offers glimpses of contemporary life—such as a lively note on the speed of the new Underwood typewriter—adding an authentic historical flavor. The layout preserves the original spelling and punctuation, giving listeners a true sense of the era’s voice.

The centerpiece is the opening of a twelve‑part saga about King Arthur, beginning with Merlin’s mysterious prophecies and the discovery of a hidden tomb in the Alps. Alongside it appear retellings of classic legends—Percival’s quest, Endymion’s longing, and the playful Uncle Remus tales—each crafted to spark curiosity and moral reflection. Poetry from Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata to verses inspired by Burns and Shakespeare further enrich the experience. Listeners will feel the gentle guidance of an editorial team devoted to nurturing both the mind and the heart of every child.
