Uncle Wiggily's Story Book by Howard Garis

Uncle Wiggily is one of the most popular and enduring characters in American literature. A cheerful bunny rabbit gentleman with a wonderful knack for setting things right, he has been a reassuring friend to millions of children since early in the century. Uncle Wiggily's amusing stories speak to readers about familiar experiences, and feature a lively cast of children and animal characters: Toodle and Noodle Flat-Tail, two playful beavers; Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, Uncle Wiggily's loyal muskrat housekeeper; Stubby Toes, the little boy who is helped by a sure-footed rabbit named Baby Bunty; Grandpa Goosey Gander; the Kite Boy; and many others. Full of charm, warmth, and old-fashioned fun.

Howard Roger Garis (1873 - 1962) was an American novelist best known for a series of books, the majority of which he published under his own name, but Baseball Joe, which he published under the name Lester Chadwick, and which starred the amusing elderly rabbit Uncle Wiggily Longears. Garis and his wife were possibly the most prolific authors of children's books in the early twentieth century. Lansing Campbell illustrated many of his novels. Garis was born in the city of Binghamton in the state of New York. He and his wife, Lilian Garis, both worked for the Newark Evening News as reporters. He also did some freelance work for WNJR in Newark.
