FOLK STORIES ABOUT ROBIN HOOD

AND KING ARTHUR AT RISK OF DYING OUT BECAUSE PARENTS NO LONGER

TELL THEM TO THEIR CHILDREN!


Folk stories like Robin Hood and King Arthur are in danger of dying out
– because parents aren’t passing them on to kids, it has emerged.

Researchers who carried out a detailed study among 2,000 adults found two thirds
have no intention of regaling their children with stories of fictional heroes’ derring-do.

Even more worryingly, one in four of those who took part admitted they were unable to name any traditional tales.

A large percentage of those who were familiar with the story of Robin Hood s
aid their knowledge was based on films, rather than learning from their parents.


And despite the existence of thousands of stories which helped shape British history, the average person can name just three.

A spokesman for Center Parcs, which commissioned the study to mark the 30th anniversary of their Sherwood Forest park, said: ‘Storytelling is a great way to bring families together, sharing tales with one another and bonding as they re-live family favourites.

‘In the year we celebrate our Sherwood Forest anniversary we’re particularly sad
to hear that the future of folklore is in jeopardy.

‘We want to help people re-discover tales they might have forgotten,
not only keeping the legendary history of our nation alive,
but also helping to build family relationships around the almost forgotten art of storytelling.’
