Once upon a time there lived on a plantation, in the very middle of Middle Georgia, a little girl and a little boy and their negro nurse. The little girl's name was Sweetest Susan. That was the name her mother gave her when she was a baby, and she was so good-tempered that everybody continued to call her Sweetest Susan when she grew older. She was seven years old. The little boy's name was Buster John. That was the name his father had given him. Buster John was eight. The nurse's name was Drusilla, and she was twelve. Drusilla was called a nurse, but that was just a habit people had. She was more of a child than either Sweetest Susan or Buster John, but she was very much larger. She was their playmate-their companion, and a capital one she made.

A young lady, just returned from college, was making a still-hunt in the house for old things-old furniture, old china, and old books. She had a craze for the antique, and the older things were the more precious they were in her eyes. Among other things she found an old scrap-book that her mother and I thought was safe under lock and key. She sat in a sunny place and read it page by page, and, when she had finished, her curiosity was aroused. The clippings in the old scrap-book were all about the adventures of a Union scout whose name was said to be Captain Frank Leroy.

"Uncle Remus," written by Joel Chandler Harris, is a collection of enthralling Southern African-American folktales. The book is a collection of stories told to a young boy named John by the imaginary figure Uncle Remus, an older African-American storyteller. These stories take place on a Southern plantation and contain animals such as Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear. Harris captures the rich oral history of African-American storytelling with skill, preserving these narratives for a larger audience. The stories communicate moral lessons and the intricacies of human nature through Uncle Remus' captivating storytelling. The interactions between Br'er Rabbit and his opponents serve as allegories for numerous life problems, educating readers about wit, cunning, and resourcefulness. "Uncle Remus" is both a literary work and a cultural document, providing light on the complexity of post-Civil War Southern society. While Harris' representation of racial relations has received criticism, the relevance of the book resides in its preservation of these classic legends and realistic picture of a distinct cultural milieu. "Uncle Remus" by Joel Chandler Harris is a thought-provoking and historically significant work, providing readers with insight into the oral storytelling traditions of the African-American community as well as the cultural environment of the American South during that century.

His father, whose identity remains unknown, abandoned Mary Ann and the infant shortly after his birth. The parents had never married; the boy was named Joel after his mother's attending physician, Dr. Joel Branham. Chandler was the name of his mother's uncle.[2] Harris remained self-conscious of his illegitimate birth throughout his life.A prominent physician, Dr. Andrew Reid, gave the Harris family a small cottage to use behind his mansion. Mary Harris worked as a seamstress and helped neighbors with their gardening to support herself and her son. She was an avid reader and instilled in her son a love of language: "My desire to write-to give expression to my thoughts-grew out of hearing my mother read The Vicar of Wakefield."Dr. Reid also paid for Harris' school tuition for several years. In 1856, Joe Harris briefly attended Kate Davidson's School for Boys and Girls, but transferred to Eatonton School for Boys later that year. He had an undistinguished academic record and a habit of truancy. Harris excelled in reading and writing, but was mostly known for his pranks, mischief, and sense of humor. Practical jokes helped Harris cloak his shyness and insecurities about his red hair, Irish ancestry, and illegitimacy, leading to both trouble and a reputation as a leader among the older boys.

""The Story of Aaron, So Named, The Son of Ben Ali"" is a novel by Joel Chandler Harris that tells the story of a young African American boy named Aaron who is born into slavery in the United States. Aaron's father, Ben Ali, is a Muslim who was brought over from Africa and is highly respected among the other slaves. As Aaron grows up, he learns about his heritage and the struggles of his people. He becomes determined to escape slavery and find a better life for himself and his family. Along the way, he meets various characters who help him on his journey, including a kind white woman who teaches him to read and write. The novel explores themes of race, identity, and freedom, and provides a powerful insight into the experiences of African Americans during the time of slavery.1895. American author and journalist, Harris is famous, or infamous as the case may be, for his humorous adaptations of black folk legends in the Uncle Remus Stories. The Uncle Remus folk tales, told by a Negro to a little boy, feature a variety of animals with the rabbit as hero and the fox next in importance, and often stress the importance of brains over brawn. Harris fell out of favor with black critics and scholars in the '60s due to what they consider is arguably the worst kind of racist stereotyping-the depiction of ex-slaves identifying with the plantation system of the Old South. But in recent years these same critics are beginning to believe that Harris might have saved an important legacy. Told by his friends and acquaintances, The Story of Aaron is a children's story of a black slave in Georgia who knows the language of the animals.
