Opie Percival Read Books

Opie Percival Read was an American journalist and humorist who gained renown as a novelist. Before 1887, he served as the editor of five Southern newspapers. He is credited with popularizing the phrase 'there's a sucker born every minute,' although this expression was already in verbal circulation and is often associated with P.T. Barnum. His work frequently captures the humor and irony of life.
