Book Overview

""From Talk to Text: Or A Likely Story - Likely Enough"" is a book written by Addison Ballard and published in 1904. The book is a collection of short stories that were originally told orally and then transcribed into written form. The stories cover a range of topics, from humorous anecdotes to tales of adventure and romance. The title ""From Talk to Text"" refers to the process of taking an oral story and transforming it into a written text. Ballard explores the idea that the act of telling a story is just as important as the story itself, and that the way a story is told can greatly influence its impact. The book is divided into several sections, each containing a different set of stories. The stories are written in a conversational style, as if the reader is sitting down with the author and listening to him recount his tales. Overall, ""From Talk to Text: Or A Likely Story - Likely Enough"" is a charming and entertaining collection of stories that offers a glimpse into the art of storytelling at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
