- [excerpted from The Guardian online obituary]
Grace told stories to family and friends, a habit she continued in her first job setting up libraries in Tobago. A scholarship to carry on with her studies in Canada followed and she then moved to Britain. As children's librarian for Hertfordshire from 1957 to 1985, she inspired others through her Youth Libraries Group work, eventually appearing on television and radio both as a storyteller and contributor to media discussions of multiculturalism and books. Grace published several books of folk tales. She began to promote storytelling outside libraries, participating in the London Narrative Group. After leaving Hertfordshire libraries, Grace continued as a professional storyteller. She mentored many of today's leading proponents of the art and helped to establish The Society of Storytelling.
