About the author
Born on March 10, 1866, George Nathaniel Morang was a Canadian publisher and writer. He is chiefly associated with the Morang Educational Company, which published books for Canadian schools and became a notable name in the country's educational market.
Morang also wrote works of his own, including material on publishing and copyright. That mix of business and writing gives his career a distinctive character: he was not only involved in making books available, but also in the larger questions surrounding authorship, printing, and the Canadian book trade.
He died on October 5, 1937. Although he is less widely known today than some of the authors he published, his name remains tied to an important period in Canadian publishing history.
