by Rebecca Rule (Author)
Hilarious New Hampshire storyteller Rebecca Rule performs in every nook and cranny of the state, so you can bet she knows how to speak and understand the local language. In Headin' for the Rhubarb, she shares that knowledge to help visitors, transplants, and natives alike make sense of the state's unique vernacular and pronunciations. And she has a good time doing it!
Author Biography
The multi-talented Rebecca "Becky" Rule is an author, humorist, storyteller, and performer as well as a radio and television host. She has been performing and telling stories in New England, especially in her home state of New Hampshire, for more than thirty years. She hosted the NH Authors series for ten years on New Hampshire PBS and now hosts the network's Our Hometown series. While she hasn't yet visited every town in the Granite State, she has found her way to many of them--speaking at libraries, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations. In addition to being a speaker, she is also a dedicated listener who loves to collect stories because "they're free and you don't have to dust them."
Becky is also an author. Her books include N is for New Hampshire, an ABC book with photographs by Scott Snyder; The Iciest Diciest Scariest Sled Ride Ever!, a picture book illustrated by Jennifer Thermes; Headin' for the Rhubarb, A NH Dictionary (well, kinda); Live Free and Eat Pie, and That Reminds Me of a Funny Story.
Becky lives in Northwood with her husband, John Rule, four cats and two dogs, all rescues--except for John Rule and Reggie, the obnoxious wire fox terrier.
