Ethel Barrett (December 28, 1913 – May 10, 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. 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.

She was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1978 in the "Best Record
for Children" category for her record album "Ethel Barrett Tells
Favorite Bible Stories" and was posthumously awarded the Great
Christian Storyteller Award for the last 100 years at the Christian
Storytelling Convention in 2007.
