Howard Roger Garis

Howard R. Garis (1873–1962) wrote the enormously popular Uncle Wiggily stories about a genteel elderly rabbit, thousands of them, in newspapers and books. He was also one of the Stratemeyer Syndicate’s most important ghostwriters, writing many of the original Tom Swift ‘Victor Appleton’ novels. A prodigious professional of early-twentieth-century children’s and juvenile-adventure fiction.
