Book Description
I am advised by my publishers that this book is to be included in their catalogue of humorous publications, and this friendly warning gives me an opportunity to say that however humorous it may be in effect, its intention is perfectly serious; and, even if it were otherwise, it seems to me that a volume written wholly in dialect must have its solemn, not to say melancholy, features. With respect to the Folk-Lore series, my purpose has been to preserve the legends themselves in their original simplicity, and to wed them permanently to the quaint dialect-if, indeed, it can be called a dialect-through the medium of which they have become a part of the domestic history of every Southern family; and I have endeavored to give to the whole a genuine flavor of the old plantation...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Joel Chandler Harris and His Home: A Sketch I had failed to take advantage of this library. Mr. Turner took an abiding interest in my welfare, directed my reading, gave good advice, and the benefit of his wisdom and experience at every turn. For the rest, I got along as any boy would. I was fond of setting type, and when my task was done I used to go to the negro cabins and hear their songs and stories. One of these cabins was that of Old Uncle George Terrell. Who made ginger-cakes and persimmon beer, and told quaint stories to little Joe and the Turner children clustered around his cabin fire. Uncle Remus of Mr. Harris's books and world wide fame is a composite of Uncle George Terrell, Uncle Bob Capers, and other kindly black uncles. If the master of Turnwold had a wonderful library and the little boy was welcome there, the mistress had a wonderful garden where he was welcome, too. In it was a plot where only wild owers grew, and Mrs. Turner knew as much about wild owers as her husband knew about birds. The Countryman was a scholarly little sheet, resembling Addison's Spectator, Goldsmith's Bee, and Johnson's Rambler. Mr. Turner welcomed contributions in prose and verse from his young printer, and predicted a bright future for him. At the close of the war the paper ceased publication.
