Ellis Parker Butler (1869 – 1937)
He was an American author of more than 30 books and more than 2,000 stories and essays, which were published in more than 225 magazines. He is most famous for his short story "Pigs Is Pigs," in which a bureaucratic stationmaster insists on levying the livestock rate for a shipment of two pet guinea pigs, which soon start proliferating exponentially. His most famous character was Philo Gubb. Despite the enormous volume of his work, Butler was, for most of his life, only a part-time author. He worked full-time as a banker and was very active in his local community.
