You know that when Uncle Wiggily Longears, the old rabbit gentleman, started out to seek his fortune, he had to travel many weary miles -- but before he could get too weary, he ran smack-dab into more surprising adventures than a farmer's boy has holes in his overalls. First he set out at night -- and heard a weird noise from a tree. "Whoo-whooo! My goodness, if it isn't Uncle Wiggily!" cried the owl in surprise. "What are you doing out so late, I'd like to know?" "Waiting for a moonbeam, so I can see if there is any gold for my fortune at the end of it." That was the old rabbit's answer!

Some of those adventures I have told you in the book just before this one, and now I am going to tell you about his travels when he hoped to find a lot of money, so he would be rich. One day, as I told you in the last story in the other book, Uncle Wiggily came to a farm, and there he had quite an adventure with a little boy. And this little boy had on red trousers, because, I guess, his blue ones were in the washtub. Anyhow, he and the rabbit gentleman became good friends.

Uncle Wiggily Longears is the central character in a series of nearly 18,000 children’s stories, all written by Howard R. Garis, beginning in 1910. The stories began as a serial in the Newark News, with a new story appearing six days a week for thirty-seven years. The elderly rabbit gentleman relies on a red, white, and blue, barber-shop pole, walking stick due to his rheumatism. He lives with a muskrat house-keeper named Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy and frequently gets into adventures with his other animal friends. The character also spawned picture books, comic books, toys, board games and many other collectibles. Unfortunately, most of the books have been out of print for many years. Starry Night Publishing has opted to begin reprinting some of the Uncle Wiggily stories, to share them with future generations. This is the second book in the series, complete with all thirty-one original stories.

Uncle Wiggily's Travels is a book of enchanting stories featuring the animals of the farm and woods. The kindly rabbit Uncle Wiggily is a bit long in the tooth now, but back when he was just a young bunny, he set out to make his fortune in the wide world. Now he has a few stories to tell of his adventures, including run-ins with squirrels, birds, and even bugs. Howard Garis' animal stories, told in his characteristic conversational style, have been loved by generations of readers. Perhaps you know a young person who is waiting to be introduced to them!
