Autorenporträt

Nancy Duncan, after retiring from teaching secondary English for 34 years, decided to practice what she preached, Imagination Prymm of Ipswich, A Year and a Day being a reflection of not only her writing and literary knowledge, but also her years of hands-on learning and burning curiosity for early Colonial life, a curiosity born after visiting Colonial Williamsburg as a child and flowering into a decades-long passion for growing herbs and studying their historical medicinal and dyeing properties, as well as their folklore. Her mother was also a dynamic influence regarding this era, she being a gardener and practitioner of the fiber arts, such as lacemaking, embroidery of all kinds, and quilting. When Nancy retired from teaching, she, too, finally found the time to immerse herself in pursuits uniquely Colonial, such as spinning wool and flax, natural dyeing, Black Work, early sampler embroidery, and bone lace (bobbin lace), all of which are integral parts of her book. Nancy also has a passion for travel, having been an Army brat growing up. She has traveled to twenty-two countries, and hopes to visit more after the world heals. Her other interests include yoga, reading, and collecting and studying early antiques.
