Author:
Gilbert, Paul T.
Paul T. Gilbert (1878-1953) was a career newspaperman, most notably for the Chicago Evening Post, from the turn of the twentieth century until the Great Depression. For the delight of his readers during his years as a columnist and feature writer, Gilbert took on stints as a museum guard, mounted policeman, and circus acrobat, animal trainer, and clown. In the early 1930s he invented the Bertram stories, which he modeled after family and friends, including his wife, Ilse, and their two sons, Paul Jr. and Peter. Child Life magazine would publish nearly seventy of the now-classic tales.
