Known as “The Story Lady,” Ethel Barrett (1913-1998) was one of the most inspirational, popular, and talented Christian personalities in mid-twentieth century North America. She had an unusual ability to write and dramatize stories based on the Bible. “With infinite imagination, enthusiasm and versatility she wrote and acted every story, created her own sound effects, and carried on dialogs with herself.” (from an original record jacket) "Ethel started her storytelling career as a Sunday School teacher in Schenectady, New York in the early 1940s. She was asked to teach the Boys Brigade class, made up of the most unruly boys in the area. She had so much trouble keeping their attention that she began telling Bible stories using character voices and full dialog to capture their attention. That Sunday School class became a great success and her local fame and storytelling talent landed her some weekend radio jobs where she would tell Bible stories on local Christian radio stations.” (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Barrett )
Note: some of the recordings, including the story of Blister the lamb on CD #3, have occasional audio distortions, from loving use of the original LP recordings half a century before.
