Uncle Remus Returns (1918)

Uncle Remus Returns is a collection of stories written by Joel Chandler Harris, originally published in 1918. It is a sequel to his earlier work, Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings, which was a collection of African American folktales. The book features the same beloved characters from the original, including Uncle Remus, Br'er Rabbit, and Br'er Fox. The stories are set in the American South and are written in African American dialect. The tales are full of humor and wit, as well as valuable life lessons. They often involve Br'er Rabbit using his cleverness to outsmart Br'er Fox and other foes. In addition to the stories, Uncle Remus Returns includes a preface by Harris, in which he explains his motivation for writing the book and defends his use of dialect. Overall, Uncle Remus Returns is a charming and entertaining collection of stories that celebrates African American folklore and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
