Howard Garis (1873-1962) was a young reporter for the Newark Evening News when he first started writing stories for children about a lovable rabbit named Uncle Wiggily. Calling them "bedtime sto-ries" (apparently the first time the term was used), he created a,widely syndicated series that eventually totaled hundreds of tales.
This volume-the only inexpensive paperbound edition available-includes 11 of the best stories from the series, relating the long-eared cottontail's adventures with the Lost Chipmunk, the Black Cricket, the Doll Doctor, the Lazy Duck, the Pinching Bug and other appealing characters.
Printed in large, easy-to-read type and enhanced with 27 new vignettes, these delightful stories will captivate today's young readers as much as they did youngsters in the early 20th century.
