by JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS, introduction by JOHN TUMLIN, xxviii + 207 pages, 18 illustrations Uncle Remus was a fictionalized, friendly old Negro who told plantation tales to an admiring young boy on a plantation in middle Georgia during the 1880's. But Uncle Remus still lives as the most famous personality of all Georgia literature. As literature, these stories are a unique record of Afro-American animal folklore. As social history, the tales contain a melancholy undercurrent about the changing postwar South and a nostalgia for gentle values of the past. But the fact that the tales entertain is, after all, the only justification they have ever needed. Sixty-four favorite stories are printed here with some of the original illustrations. isbn 0-88322-041-5 hardcover$30.00 The Beehive Foundation 208 West Harris Street Savannah, Georgia 31401 These books are published without profit as an educational service.
