A collection of essays from the visionary storyteller Gianni Rodari about fairy tales and folk tales and their great advantages in teaching creative storytelling.

A collection of essays from the visionary storyteller Gianni Rodari about fairy tales and folk tales and their great advantages in teaching creative storytelling.

“Rodari grasped children’s need to play with life’s rules by using the grammar of their own imaginations. They must be encouraged to question, challenge, destroy, mock, eliminate, generate, and reproduce their own language and meanings through stories that will enable them to narrate their own lives.” —Jack Zipes

“I hope this small book,” writes renowned children’s author Gianni Rodari, “can be useful for all those people who believe it is necessary for the imagination to have a place in education; for all those who trust in the creativity of children; and for all those who know the liberating value of the word.”

Full of ideas, glosses on fairytales, stories, and wide-ranging activities, including the fantastic binomial, this book changed how creative arts were taught in Italian schools. Translated into English by acclaimed children’s historian Jack Zipes and illustrated for the first time ever by Matthew Forsythe, this edition of The Grammar of Fantasy is one to live with and return to for its humor, intelligence, and truly deep understanding of children.

A groundbreaking pedagogical work that is also a handbook for writers of all ages and kinds, The Grammar of Fantasy gives each of us a playful, practical path to finding our own voice through the power of storytelling.

Gianni Rodari (1920–1980) grew up in Northern Italy and wrote hundreds of stories, poems, and songs for children. In 1960, he collaborated with the Education Cooperation Movement to develop exercises to encourage children’s creative and critical thinking abilities.

Jack Zipes is a renowned children’s historian and folklorist who has written, translated, and edited dozens of books on fairytales. He is a professor at the University of Minnesota.

Matthew Forsythe lives in Montreal where he draws and paints for picture books, comics, and animations.

Recenzijas

"Holds great value for the adults who teach kids and the adults who write for them... The book is funny, freewheeling and angry, animated by Rodaris fury at an educational system in which imagination is still treated like a poor relation of attention and memory... He offers classroom games that puncture the barriers between academic disciplines... The Grammar of Fantasy is less a manual on how to write for kids than a treatise on why we must respect them as readers, written by an author whose lifes work was underpinned by an appreciation of the childs underlying seriousness, and the moral engagement that she brings to everything she does." -- Mac Barnett, U.S. National Ambassador for Young People's Literature * The New York Times * "Rodari yearned for a way to unite his passions for philosophy, teaching, and justice. And so he started writing stories, songs, and poems for children, insisting over and over, in subtle and sensitive ways, on the human capacity for independent and imaginative thinking... A dazzling, deeply original book... only now available in English with enchanting illustrations by Matthew Forsythe." -- Maria Popova * The Marginalian * "I'm having a hard time containing my excitement... Its great for teachers and the classroom, but also for any artist or person who is looking to be more creative. Honestly, it would even be great in the self-help category, on how to unleash your own voice." -- Betsy Bird * A Fuse #8 Production (A School Library Journal blog) * The ultimate synthesis of Rodaris exuberant knowledge, a book of both pedagogy and poetics, poetry for teachers and pedagogy for poets. -- Italo Calvino "This is a spectacularly gorgeous book (as is everything from Enchanted Lion)." * Golden Hour Books (Indianapolis, IN) *
