Muriel J MorrisFor more than 43 years, Muriel Morris taught English, English literature, journalism, and creative writing, among other subjects. She has double degrees in English and previously published Shakespeare Goes to the Dogs (later re-issued as Shakespeare ade Easy: an Illustrated Approach), a dozen Shakespeare plays acted out by cartoon dachshunds. "Merry Dachshunds of Windsor" was a part of the 2000 Shakespeare: Man of the Millennium exhibition put on by Britain's National Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Bard's birthplace.

Like her great-great grandfather and other Woodbury relatives, Morris has "travelling feet," having visited the UK, Europe, South America, North Africa, India, and China, where she rode a Bactrian camel in Inner Mongolia. She's also ridden a dromedary on the Sahara, an elephant in the teak forests of India and gone down the Amazon in a large canoe. Morris lives in Chilliwack, British Columbia, in the company of two dachshunds, Portia and Smashing Pumpkin, referred to as "The Dachshund Princesses." Read More Read Less
