Description: 8vo. Green cloth stamped with gilt rabbit on front and black cover gilt titled spine, white butterfly patterned endpapers. xxxvi, [2], 416 pages. 19 plates. Illustrated by Frederick S. Church. First edition of the second Uncle Remus collection of stories. (BAL 7109). A tight, bright, and unmarred copy. Very scarce in this condition. Widely illustrated with scenes from the familiar tales, including images of Brother Fox, Brother Bear, and Brother Rabbit. Printed by the Press of Rockwell & Churchhill. While working for the Atlanta Constitution in 1876, Harris invented Uncle Remus. He published Uncle Remus pieces regularly in the Constitution, and they were extremely popular. In 1880 he collected them into his first book. Eventually, seven more Uncle Remus volumes followed. The stories Harris had heard originally were never meant to be told for the benefit of a white child; rather they were an integral part of the slave culture out of which they grew. Nevertheless, Harris made an important contribution by carefully and accurately preserving these stories. (Silvey, 296). Green cloth stamped with gilt rabbit on front and black cover gilt titled spine, white butterfly patterned endpapers
