Gwladys Evan Morris

Gwladys Evan Morris wrote Tales from Bernard Shaw, which was first published in 1929 by George G. Harrap and Co. of London, and was printed by H & J Pillans & Wilson of Edinburgh. A U.S. edition was published in 1929 by Frederick A. Stokes of New York.

In the introduction to the book, Morris explains that the character of Jack (a chattering monkey in her story of Man and Superman) is Shaw himself, and that the woman's part in another of her stories (Captain Brassbound's Conversion) is written "expressly for and round the personality of Ellen Terry", a famous actress of the day who had died, a year before publication, in 1928.
