Lyn Z. Mueller served as director of the state’s Writing Improvement Network and was greatly influenced as a storyteller by Augusta Baker, who gave Ms. Mueller the power to teach reading and writing through storytelling. She considers Augusta Baker to be her fairy godmother! Ms. Mueller’s story is a South Carolina Gullah tale that is at least 150 years old. It was first documented by John Bennett in Charleston at the turn of the century. Key points: use of rhythm and alliteration, the use of dialect, telling and retelling family stories as a first step to storytelling.
