The Tar-Baby And Other Rhymes Of Uncle Remus (1904)

The Tar-Baby And Other Rhymes Of Uncle Remus is a collection of poems written by Joel Chandler Harris and published in 1904. The book features a selection of rhymes and songs that were originally featured in the Uncle Remus stories, a series of African American folktales that Harris had collected and adapted for children. The poems in the book are written in a dialect that mimics the speech patterns of Southern African Americans, and are accompanied by illustrations by A.B. Frost. The collection includes popular rhymes such as ""The Tar-Baby"" and ""De Ole Brer Rabbit"", as well as lesser-known songs and poems. The Tar-Baby And Other Rhymes Of Uncle Remus is a charming and nostalgic look back at a time when storytelling was a cherished tradition in African American culture. It is a celebration of the oral tradition and the power of language to bring people together and create a sense of community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
