“Books are mirrors. You only see in them what you already have inside of you.” -Carlos Zafon

Synopsis

Ellis Parker Butler (1869-1937) was the author of more than 2,000 stories and essays, as well as 30 books. He remains 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 geometrically. This collection reveals his thoughts on writing humor, including |Ten Rules for Humor| and |How I Sell My Stories.|
