Autorenporträt

Howard Roger Garis was an American novelist best known for a series of tales featuring Uncle Wiggily Longears, a charming elderly rabbit. Lansing Campbell created illustrations for many of his novels. Garis and his wife, Lilian Garis, were arguably the most prolific children's authors of the early twentieth century. Garis was born in Binghamton, NY. He and his wife, Lilian Garis, worked as reporters for the Newark Evening News. He did some side work for WNJR in Newark. The first Uncle Wiggily story appeared on January 10, 1910, in the Newark News. For nearly four decades, the newspaper carried an Uncle Wiggily story by Garis every day except Sunday, and the series finally became nationally syndicated. Garis retired from the publication in 1947, having penned almost 11,000 Uncle Wiggily articles. Milton Bradley first began marketing the Uncle Wiggily Game in 1916. Parker Brothers purchased the board game's license in 1987 and continued to produce it for several years. As of 2018, Winning Moves was manufacturing the Uncle Wiggily Game.
