About the author
Born in Binghamton, New York, in 1873, Howard Roger Garis became an American author and journalist whose work reached generations of children. Reliable reference sources agree that he is most closely associated with Uncle Wiggily Longears, the kindly rabbit hero who appeared in stories and books over many years.
Before focusing on children's fiction, he worked in newspapers, including the Newark Evening News. He also wrote for the Stratemeyer Syndicate, contributing to popular series fiction during a period when children's publishing was expanding quickly in the United States.
Garis died in 1962 in Amherst, Massachusetts. His papers, preserved at Syracuse University, reflect a long writing life and the lasting popularity of his stories, especially the Uncle Wiggily books that remain his best-known legacy.
