Story Hour, a distinctively American import in French libraries, becomes a popular activity among young patrons. Claire Huchet, a French librarian trained in San Francisco and London, inaugurates Story Hour in November 1923, recounting three tales for the occasion: “The Three Wishes,” by Mme de Beaumont; a Provençal fairy tale; and Grimm’s classic “The Little Brother and the Little Sister.”
