Margaret Warner Morley (February 17, 1858 in Montrose, Iowa - December 12, 1923 in Washington, D.C.) was an American educator, biologist and writer, author of many books on nature and biology for children and novel writer. == Biography == Morley grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from Hunter College in New York. Morley was a suffragette. She worked as an educator in several schools but her career of teacher was overshadowed by her books.〔(Encyclopaedia Britannica )〕 As early as 1890 she visited Tryon, North Carolina with the painter Amelia Watson where she resided in the cottage of playwright William Gillette. She finally acquired her own home in Tryon where she lived for many years. In one of her many trips she went to Europe to the Val Gardena the valley of toy carvers where she was inspired to write the novel ''Donkey John of the toy valley''. Some of her documents are held at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The collection consists of travel logs and sketchbooks of rural North Carolina, and book manuscripts. The North Carolina Museum of History owns a collection of the 244 original photographs that Morley donated to the museum in 1914.〔(Photographs by Margaret Warner Morley in the North Carolina Museum of History )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margaret Warner Morley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
