Oliver Herford (1863-1935) was an American writer, artist and illustrator who has been called "The American Oscar Wilde."[citation needed] As a frequent contributor to The Mentor, Life, and Ladies' Home Journal, he sometimes signed his artwork as "O Herford." In 1906 he wrote and illustrated the Little Book of Bores. He also wrote short poems like "The Chimpanzee" and "The Hen," as well as writing and illustrating "The Rubaiyat of a Persian Kitten" (1904) and "Excuse It Please" (1930). His sister Beatrice Herford was also a humorist. Ethel Mumford and Addison Mizner wrote a small book The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1903 as a Christmas present and added Herford's name as an author as a joke. The printer made up more copies to sell and to everyone's surprise it was an astounding success. When Herford found out about it he wanted 90% of the royalties. He was awarded an equal third.[1][2] Books[edit] Allegretto by Gertrude Hall (1894) The Simple Jography, or How to Know the Earth and Why it Spins (1908)[5] With pictures by the author, published by Charles Scribner's Sons: [6] The Bashful Earthquake A Child's Primer of Natural History; a revision and extension of this title by Margaret Fishback and Hilary Knight appeared as A Child's Book of Natural History (USA: Platt & Monk, 1969) Overheard in a Garden More Animals The Rubaiyat of a Persian Kitten The Fairy Godmother-in-law A Little Book of Bores The Peter Pan Alphabet[7] The Astonishing Tale of a Pen-And-Ink Puppet A Kitten's Garden of Verses With John Cecil Clay: Cupid's Cyclopedia Cupid's Fair-Weather Booke With Addison Mizner and Ethel Mumford The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1903 The Limerick Up to Date Book (1903) The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1904 (1903) The Entirely New Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1905 (1904) The Complete Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1906 (1905) The Altogether New Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1907 (1906) The Quite New Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1908 (1907) The Perfectly Good Cynic's Calendar (1908) The Complete Cynic (1910) The Revived Cynic's Calendar (1917)
