Paperback cover has some wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.
This vintage Penguin American Library edition of Joel Chandler Harris’ “Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings” offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich oral traditions of the African American South. Originally published in 1880, this collection of folktales, fables, and dialect stories introduced the world to the enduring characters of Uncle Remus, Brer Rabbit, and the Tar Baby. While the dialect and portrayals have drawn criticism over time, the tales themselves remain important cultural artifacts that preserved the wit, wisdom, and resilience of enslaved Africans in the Antebellum era. This particular copy, despite some wear on the cover, provides a well-preserved portal into a pivotal work of American literature that continues to spark discussions about race, representation, and the power of storytelling across generations.
