1. A storyteller is born and not made.
2. But storytelling is more a ‘knack’, a ‘skill’, than an ‘art’.
3. For its effect, it relies on humour rather than on intelligence.
4. The success of a story depends very much upon the make of the body, formation of the features
and gesticulations of the storyteller.
5. For example, the merit of the storyteller Dick Dewlap was founded upon the shaking of his fat
paunch and tossing up of his rosy jowls.
