This volume draws together scholarly contributions from diverse, yet interlinking disciplinary fields, with the aim of critically examining the value of narrative inquiry in understanding the everyday lives of children and young people in diverse spaces and places, including the home, recreational spaces, communities and educational spaces. Incorporating insights from sociology, geography, education, child and youth studies, social care, and social work, the collection emphasises how narrative research approaches present storytelling as a universally recognizable, valuable and effective methodological approach with children and young people. The chapters points to the diversity of spaces and places encountered by children and young people, considers how young people ‘tell tales’ about their lives and highlights the multidimensionality of narrative research in capturing their everyday lived experiences.

“This edited collection will become a key text in the narrative research with children and on childhood. With an excellent introduction into the tradition of narrative research in the social sciences and narrative research with children and young people in particular, this edited volume features a number of accomplished and up-and-coming researchers in the field. It brings a diversity of methodological approaches to the subject, influenced by literary traditions, philosophically inspired analysis, social history traditions, and psychosocial-geographical approaches. It covers a range of topics and issues that affect children’s everyday lives, with contributions capturing children’s experiences, current and past, from a broad geographical sweep. A little treasure trove of ‘tales,’ this book is indispensable to students, researchers, and members of the public interested in the narrative life especially in our younger years.”- Sevasti-Melissa Nolas, Senior Lecturer in Sociology,Goldsmiths, University of London“This edited collection offers a powerful, richly-empirical and sensitive account of children and young people’s narratives of everyday life. It demonstrates how the telling of ‘small’ stories can illuminate hugely important, and highly original, accounts of how young people experience rapid social, economic and political transformations. The chapters extend beyond textual stories into forms ofmapping, accounts of material objects, and more.”- Peter Kraftl, Professor, University of Birmingham, UK“This multidisciplinary book provides an outstanding resource for significantly advancing research, teaching, and policy through narrative inquiry. It clearly shows the value of narratives as being central to our individual and collective understanding of each other; particularly the lives lived by children and youth. It is important that we remember that itis their stories on which we hang our teaching and learning points upon.” - Mark Brennan, Professor, Pennsylvania State University and UNESCO Chair for Rural Community, Leadership and Youth Development, USA
