First published in 1997, this volume takes a dive into methods of
teenage storytelling, including questions of believability,
fashionability, rebellious spirit, the supernatural, personal
narratives and riddles, along with an archive of texts collected by
the author intended to illuminate and inform the analysis. It
builds on the extensive work of Peter and Iona Opie on the same
subject involving children of all ages and explores connections to
folklore and narrative variations from a performative perspective.
Michael Wilson shares their findings that children continue to
cherish their traditional lore in the face of modern technological
entertainment. His study is similar in responding to the poor
status and even denial of a teenage narrative tradition, inspired
by both short and extended narratives which he experienced daily.
Wilson hoped to give academic depth and breadth to the storytelling
renaissance and giving teenage storytellers their rightful place in
our ongoing oral narrative tradition.
