Nights With Uncle Remus: Myths and Legends of the Old Plantation
Hardcover
(Forgotten Books Nov. 24, 2017)
Excerpt from Nights With Uncle Remus: Myths and Legends of the Old Plantation
The volume 1 containing an instalment of thirty-four negro legends, which was given to the public three years ago, was accompanied by an apology for both the matter and the manner. Perhaps such an apology is more necessary now than it was then; but the warm reception given to the book on all sides by literary critics, as well as by ethnologists and students of folk-lore, in this country and in Europe has led the author to believe that a volume embodying everything, or nearly everything, of importance in the oral literature of the negroes of the Southern States, would be as heartily welcomed.
