Ethel Barrett CD #3 of Stories for Children: Blister, and Other Stories of Trust and Obedience
Memorable stories to train young children to trust and obey.
Treat your family to an unusual listening experience–resurrected in digital form (with occasional audio distortions) from much-loved LP recordings produced a half century ago. Renée, along with many adults today, has warm memories of hearing these as a young child.
Known as “The Story Lady,” Ethel Barrett (1913-1998) “was a prolific Christian writer, speaker, and storyteller, whose popularity peaked between the early 1950s and the mid-1980s. She sold millions of copies of over 40 different books for publishers like Zondervan, Gospel Light and Regal Books. The latter printed and sold more than 4 million copies of her work. She also recorded over 30 audio recordings distributed on records and tapes.”
A decade after Barrett’s death the Christian Storytelling Convention of 2007 honored her with “the Great Christian Storyteller Award for the last 100 years.” (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Barrett)
