About the book: (from the dust jacket) "The author draws a clear and interesting picture of the sources of Harris' acquaintance-with the life of the before-the-war Negroes and especially of their native gift for narrative and their humor. Her analysis of the Uncle Remus books preserves to a remarkable degree their distinctive quality, and her examples of the songs, myths, ghost and devil tales, and other bits of folklore appearing in Harris' books are well chosen to clarify the nature of folklore in the Uncle Remus stories. Mrs. Brookes' study is scholarly, well written, and vastly entertaining. It will be prized not only by the thousands of Americans with whom Uncle Remus has long been a favorite, but also by all students of American literature and folklore."
