Nancy Roberts
"First Lady of American Folklore"
Nancy Roberts was an Author, Storyteller, and Minister. Born in South Milwaukee, WI, she was a graduate of Saint Mary's Academy in Raleigh, NC and received a degree in Comparative Literature from the University of North Carolina. While writing ghost stories for the Charlotte Observer, she was encouraged by Carl Sandburg to publish her stories as a book. She and her husband served as pastors of the Overcomers' Church and being an ordained minister, she was proud of this achievement.
With twenty-five books to her credit, Nancy delights readers with her ghost stories and southern folklore. Her books have collectively sold over a million copies. A storyteller dedicated to inspiring students to read, she performed at seminars, on radio and television, and at hundreds of schools and libraries across the South. She was a member of the National Storytelling Association and appeared in costume for her storytelling performances. Her stories are based upon personal interviews, many hours of research at the Library of Congress and the places where the stories happened.
"Whether you believe in ghosts or not--these stories are true. Or at least the people interviewed believe they have seen ghosts." ...Nancy Roberts.
