September 30, 2005 - Gerald Morris, children's author

morris1The Hedberg Library and Children's Literature Center invited children's author Gerald Morris to present Family Fun Night. Mr. Morris lives in Wausau, Wisconsin with his wife and three children. He shared Arthurian legends with us and had a book signing.

According to Germorris3ald Morris, "I never lost my love of retelling the old stories. When I found Arthurian literature, years later, I knew at once that I wanted to retell those grand tales. So I pulled out my notebook...I retell the tales, peopleing them with characters that I at least find eaiser to recognize, and let the magic of the Arthurian tradition go where it will."
