The language used has been kept as simple as possible so as to help the children and teachers apply the techniques given. The activities and exercises described in the book range from techniques used by world-renowned theater artists to techniques that we ourselves devised in classrooms. The theme of the book, Folk Tales from Around the World, was chosen keeping in mind the fact that such plays would be best suited for children of that age. The plays included have been inspired by tales passed on from generation to generation in many lands across the seas.
