About the Author
Ellis Parker Butler (1869-1937) was a native of Muscatine, Iowa. Dropping out of high school to help support the family he worked in a number of jobs including ones in a spice mill, an oatmeal mill, a china store, and a wholesale grocery. Moving to New York City in 1896, he began writing for trade magazines such as the Tailor's Review, the Wall Paper News, and The Decorative Furnisher.
In 1905, his humorous short story, Pigs is Pigs appeared in the American Magazine, and the following year it was published in book form. Its phenomenal success allowed Butler to give up editing trade papers and turn to full-time authorship.

Pigs Is Pigs (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a humorous tale centered around a seemingly simple dispute: are guinea pigs "pigs" or "pets" for the purposes of shipping rates? The story unfolds as a battle of wills between Mr. Morehouse, the indignant owner of the guinea pigs, and Mike Flannery, the resolute agent of the Interurban Express Company. Through their escalating conflict, the author cleverly satirizes bureaucratic rigidity and the absurdity that can arise from clinging to rules and classifications. As the guinea pig population explodes under Flannery's care, the narrative takes on a farcical quality, highlighting the disconnect between official policies and the messy realities of life. Ultimately, the book's playful exploration of this seemingly trivial matter invites us to consider the limitations of rigid categorization and the importance of applying common sense and flexibility in navigating the complexities of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440055720_0
