Martha Ann Riste

A young orphaned English girl.  A wealthy older woman who took  her in.  A beautiful singing voice-- one that would send the girl to sing for the queen.

The fairy-tale elements of this story captured my attention and drew me to Martha Ann Riste.  In fact, the oral storytelling spoke to me more strongly than a written story would have.  Which is why I'm going to let you hear the story now.




This story inspired me!  I wanted to be like Martha Ann Riste and I wanted to learn about her, too.

Little did I know I was in for a big surprise . . .

and so are you if you check my next post to find out what really happened to Martha Ann Riste!
