| Abstract / Summary: |
While stories are for all ages with some audiences and tellers receiving
more respect than others the specific focus in this paper is the path
from fireplace to marketplace as it applies to telling and publishing stories
for a young audience i.e., for children. The path is a problematic
one for many. Despite the fact that we know that money makes many
worlds go round, there is something about story as commodity, about putting
a price tag on imagination, about the juxtaposition of concerns of
children and of money, that makes many people extremely uncomfortable.
This is true in the advanced capitalism of contemporary American
society. This was equally true a century ago in the early years of American
youth services librarianship. This is a profession with a long history of
hostility toward the concept of story as commodity. |
