Ellis Parker Butler (1869–1937) was an American author, recognized for his humorous and satirical writings. Born on December 5, 1869, in Muscatine, Iowa, Butler showed a penchant for storytelling early in his life. His writing career began at the age of twenty-five when his short story, 'Pigs Is Pigs,' gained national acclaim for its comedic narrative and was a defining moment for his future in writing, solidifying his place in the canon of American humor literature. Butler was a prolific writer, authoring more than 30 books and 2,000 stories and essays. Amongst his various works, 'Kilo' stands notable. This work showcases his characteristic wit and a keen eye for the foibles of small-town life. Butler's storytelling expertise is evident in his ability to make the mundane seem enchanting. His literary contributions are marked by a light-hearted tone, fluid prose, and an astute observation of human nature, all of which allowed him to entertain and engage readers repeatedly. While 'Pigs Is Pigs' remains his most recognized work, his wider oeuvre offers a delightful panorama of early twentieth-century American fiction. Despite the breadth of his work, it is his humor—a gentle, yet sharp and insightful humor—that remains the hallmark of Ellis Parker Butler's literary legacy.
