Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings
Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings, verses and tales based on black folklore, by Joel Chandler Harris, published in periodicals and collected in 1881.
Whimsical, lovable old Uncle Remus, once a slave, is now a trusted family servant who entertains the young son of his employers with traditional fables of his race. Included in the collection are the famous “Tar‐Baby” stories and others in which the chief figures are animals endowed with human qualities, such as Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Wolf. The dialect is authentic and the author gathered his materials at first hand among Southern blacks. He published many other Uncle Remus collections. |
