About the Author

Douglas Floen taught High School English for many years and he always felt that there was a great lack of good, interesting, readable books particularly for young animal lovers between the ages of 9 to 14. This is the age at which so many stop reading, perhaps because of that very lack of enjoyable material. Mr. Floen lives in Montreal and although he is semi-retired, he continues to work with adolescents regularly. He finds great joy in bringing the works of Shakespeare alive through play production and watching the young teens realize that he is not for the intellectually pretentious but for everyone to take part in and enjoy. When Mr. Floen first started teaching he taught Elementary school which gave him a valuable background for understanding how the pre-adolescent mind works, what their problems and pleasures are. Aside from that he has a passion for both travel and the reading of History, both of which he pursues whenever time permits.
