"And half the fun of nearly everything, you know, is thinking about it beforehand, or afterward."

Howard Garis (1873–1962) was a budding reporter for the Newark Evening News when he first started writing stories for children about a delightful rabbit named Uncle Wiggily. Calling them "bedtime stories" (in all likelihood the first time the term was used), he created a popular syndicated series that eventually totaled hundreds of tales. This high quality volume includes 26 of the best stories from the series, relating the long-eared cottontail's adventures with Little Boy Blue, Little Bo-Peep, Jack and Jill, Jack Horner, Miss Muffet, and other loveable characters. Printed in large, easy-to-read type, these delightful stories will captivate today's young readers as much as they did youngsters in the early twentieth century.
