This site holds a collection of stories from around the East Anglian region. We have tales from all parts of this area; some you may have heard before and some, we hope, will be new to you. There are also stories from other parts of England and from around the world.

Try clicking on the 'Myths & Legends' button at the top of the page to see the list of stories currently available. Choose a story that you like the sound of.

Now you can:

* Hear the story read to you by clicking on the 'Play' button, and watch the animated pictures that illustrate what is going on.

* Sit back and listen to the whole story by leaving the button set to 'Auto is on'. This means that, on the screen, you will see the story text, a paragraph at a time, and you will hear it read aloud. At the end of each section, the next piece of text will load up and the story will continue to be read out to you.

* Play the story at your own pace, by clicking the button so that it says 'Auto is off'. Then use the 'back' and 'next' buttons to move through the story.

* Simply read the story on screen by clicking on the 'Story Text' button.

* Print out a copy of the story to read later.


For each story you have chosen you will also find:

* A library of pictures that go with the story: click on the 'Gallery' button.

* Work that others have done after reading the stories: click on the 'Your work' button.

* Information about how the story may have arisen: click on the 'Origins' button.

* Ideas and lessons for teachers: click on the 'Teachers' button.

The Art of Storytelling website was created by The Delaware Art Museum to allow online visitors to engage with our collections in a unique and creative way. Beyond experiencing our rich variety of art works in the traditional museum setting, this online project - the Art of Storytelling - allows visitors to create their own pictures and stories inspired by works in the museum. These visitor creations can then be shared, both as an email to a friend and published to this site as an entry for all to experience. In addition to creating pictures and writing stories, visitors with microphones enabled on their computers can also record their stories for others to hear.
