 Cady, an American illustrator best known for his works in Bedtime Stories, created the artwork for a daily-newspaper  by book and magazine writer Thornton W. Burgess.  Burgess conceived the character of Peter Rabbit (not to be confused with Beatrix Potters creation of the same name), and each of these Bedtime Stories was illustrated with a drawing by Cady, who had illustrated some of Burgess magazine stories as early as 1911.
