Howard Roger Garis (1873-1962) was an American author, best known for a series of books that featured the character of Uncle Wiggily Longears, an engaging elderly rabbit.

The spine ends and corners are bumped with a little damage and loss to the paper covering the corner tips and wear to the paper on the edges of the boards. The spine is slightly faded. The contents are tight and clean with a little orange scribbling on page 26 and some soiling on pages 38, 50, 51, 102 and 103. There is a crease across the bottom corner of page 150. The front endpapers have a split of about 1 1/2" on the bottom of the spine gutter and the rear endpapers have a split on the bottom 4 1/2". There is no inscription.
