This story was originally published as a novella in three chapters in Good Housekeeping for November and December, 1904, and January, 1905; and first published as a book in September, 1906. 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.Butler, Ellis Parker is the author of 'Incubator Baby ' with ISBN 9781410105912 and ISBN 1410105911.
