Jago Muir is a graduate of the University of North Texas, where he took a B.A. in English in the 1960s. He later did Master’s work at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. His study of linguistics and the English language earned him a place as a scholarly writer, publishing his work in the Lamar Journal of the Humanities. Muir is a lover of diversity with an extremely low threshold for boredom. He is a teacher, poet, musical composer, and singer. When he takes a break from writing, he enjoys playing folk guitar and bluegrass banjo, and regularly performing karaoke. He is also a private pilot, an amateur magician, a belted martial artist, a chess aficionado, and a fluent speaker of French and Mandarin. Muir currently lives in Liuzhou, China, where he teaches English as a foreign language. His wife, Xue Qing Wen, teaches philosophy and English at Laibin Vocational College.

Book Details
Bits and Bobs from an Early Board
Hidden for 40 years, they are found in a box of old books! The accidental discovery of a cache of manuscripts—stories and poems he wrote long ago—leads the author on a journey through time. Here is an eclectic mixture, including a bizarre nursery rhyme, a “troggy” jump rope chant, a magic junk house, zombie forest musicians, and a little boy who wants to climb the “death wall.” Travel back with Muir to the 1960s as he provides intimate glimpses into his early life, his views as a young man on love, brotherhood, and the Christian faith. This diverse mixture of delightful prose and poetry will make you laugh and weep . . .and think.
