Howard Roger Garis was an American author who, alongside his wife Lilian Garis, stood as possibly the most prolific children's writer of the early twentieth century. Born in 1873, Garis dedicated his career to crafting engaging stories for young readers, leaving a significant mark on the landscape of children's literature.
He is best known for creating the character of Uncle Wiggily Longears, an engaging elderly rabbit who starred in a popular series of books. Many of these beloved stories were brought to life through the illustrations of Lansing Campbell. Through his enduring tales of Uncle Wiggily and his extensive writing career, Garis became a central figure in early twentieth-century children's books before his passing in 1962.
