Internation…al postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. A wonderful book, full of wit, black humor and love between and ex-slave and a young white boy. In spite of the fact that some of the words are no longer "politically correct" this book is a must for all those persons who would like a closer look at what life was really like in the South in the years following the Civil War, and what gave great joy to the reader or listener. Uncle Remus is the fictional title character and narrator of a collection of African American folktales compiled and adapted by Joel Chandler Harris and published in book form in 1881. Harris was a journalist in post-Reconstruction era Atlanta, and he produced seven Uncle Remus books. He did so by introducing tales that he had heard and framing them in the plantation context. He wrote his stories in a dialect which was his interpretation of the Deep South African-American language of the time. For these framing and stylistic choices, Harris's collection has garnered controversy since its publication. Many of these stories are believed to have Creek Indian influence too. Ref CC 7.

Add to basketSingle Issue Magazine. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1923. First Edition. Vol XI, No. 4, for 1923. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year - monthly designations for such an infr…equent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 115 pp. + numerous unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a fold-out map (Grouse Meadows to Vidette Meadow) and a fold-out wide-angle photograph by W.H. Wright. Gray stapled wraps, rather than the usual medium brown. Very Good; circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). Some damage at inside front hinge area, and some spine sunning and abrasion. A handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others, including Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris (an 1867 shot), Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L.

Illustrations by Frederick S Church and James H Moser. First…edition, first state with "presumptive" on last line page 9 and "New Books. A Treatise on the Practice of Medicine" (BAL 7100:1). Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings; The Folk-Lore of the Old Plantation is a landmark 1881 collection of African American folktales compiled and adapted by white American journalist Joel Chandler Harris. Originally published by D. Appleton & Company, the book introduced a global audience to the Br'er Rabbit trickster tales and remains a highly influential yet deeply controversial work of American literature. Though framed as innocent children's stories, the fables carry deep socio-political allegories: Slavery Survival Strategy: Most of the stories originated from West African oral traditions brought to the Americas by enslaved people. On an allegorical level, Br'er Rabbit represents the enslaved African American population who had to use intellect to survive against the dominant white plantation owners (represented by the stronger animals). The book completely revolutionized animal-centric children's literature. It heavily influenced subsequent works like Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit and modern animated characters like Bugs Bunny. While praised in the 19th century for preserving oral Southern folklore that might otherwise have been lost, the work faces severe contemporary criticism: Critics argue that the character of Uncle Remus promotes a romanticized, sanitized myth of the antebellum South. It presents a nostalgic view of plantation life that masks the brutal realities of slavery. As a white journalist, Harris appropriated these Black ancestral stories and commercially profited from them. The book was the basis for Disney's highly controversial 1946 film Song of the South, which has been locked away by the company for decades due to its racially insensitive depictions. Joel Chandler Harris was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia, where he served as an apprentice on a plantation during his teenage years. He spent the majority of his adult life in Atlanta working as an associate editor at the Atlanta Constitution. Harris led two professional lives: as the editor and journalist known as Joe Harris, he supported a vision of the New South with the editor Henry W. Grady (1880-1889), stressing regional and racial reconciliation after the Reconstruction era. As Joel Chandler Harris, fiction writer and folklorist, he wrote many 'Brer Rabbit' stories from the African-American oral tradition and helped to revolutionize literature in the process. Condition: Corners bumped and slightly rubbed, small closed tear at bottom of title page, some internal soiling and fingering else very good. Frederick S Church and James H Moser (illustrator).
