For Leigh Reagan Alley, the 4th-great-granddaughter of Maine folk hero Tall Barney Beal, tall tales are part of her family’s DNA! Raised in a Downeast lobstering village where storytelling tradition is alive and well, and trained to be a writer and educator in Maine universities that she still serves today, Leigh teaches children’s and young adult literature in the University of Maine System where she is an Assistant Professor of Education. Her lobstering husband and their two lobstering children are her three favorite people to share stories with.
