"Nor does my little book pretend to be any defen…se of slavery," writes the author in her Preface. "I know not whether it was right or wrong (there are many pros and cons on that subject); but it was the law of the land. . . . surrounded by negroes from my earliest infancy, 'I know whereof I speak;' and it is to tell of the pleasant and happy relations that existed between master and slave that I write this story. . . ." She does acknowledge that Mr. Harris, in "Uncle Remus," "has already given the 'Tar Baby,' but I have not seen his book, and, as our versions are probably different, I shall let mine remain just as 'Chris told it to the "chil'en.'" 217 pp. Reduced from $12.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. This is an American reprint consisting of two stories bound together: "The Lost Knife", and "A Wet Afternoon" (the illustrations for which are quite similar in style). The book was published in 1884 by Dodd, Mead and Company. Again, it is a reprint . the stories (at least "The Lost Knife") were first…published in England, and then there are earlier reprints issued in the United States. Indeed there are several versions of the stories . several binding variants. As we can see from the nature of the illustrations, it is obvious that the plates for the book had been frequently, and heavily used. This was typical of popular juvenile works. According to World Catalog (OCLC), Kate Greenaway contributed the illustrations for this story ("The Lost Knife"). She is not credited in this edition, but the illustrations, at least many of them, are obviously by her hand. The binding on this copy is a generic publisher's trade binding. All the same it has a charm of its own. Dressed in an embossed cloth-covered board binding, colored black on deep ultramarine (blue), the front cover design depicts a boy looking over a fence . behind him is a horse. The boy holds a riding crop. There are flowers in the foreground, and birds roost in the rafters above. The title is lettered in black beneath the boy. In the upper right corner of the front cover is a generic paper paste-down chromolithographic illustration depicting a lovely young girl.
