Autorenporträt
Ellis Parker Butler was an American author. He wrote more than 30 novels and over 2,000 stories and essays, and is well known for his short story "Pigs Is Pigs," in which a bureaucratic stationmaster insists on charging the livestock rate for a shipment of two pet guinea pigs, which quickly multiply exponentially. His best-known character was Philo Gubb. His career lasted over forty years, and his stories, poems, and articles appeared in over 225 journals. His work was published alongside those of his contemporaries, including Mark Twain, Sax Rohmer, James B. Hendryx, Berton Braley, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Don Marquis, Will Rogers, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Butler was born in Muscatine, Iowa, on December 5, 1869. He attended Muscatine High School for a single year. He relocated to New York City and lived in Flushing, Queens. From 1906 to 1935, he contributed twenty-five stories to Woman's Home Companion. The stories in the Companion were drawn by artists such as May Wilson Preston, Frederic Dorr Steele, Herbert Paus, and Rico Le Brun. From 1931 to 1936, Ethel Hays illustrated at least seventeen of Butler's newspaper stories.
