Price: US$3500.00 + shipping

Description: First edition of the fourth collection of “Uncle Remus” tales. Octavo, original pictorial cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel, illustrated with frontispiece and 11 plates by A.B. Frost. Presentation copy, inscribed by the illustrator on the flyleaf, "To Doctor Eugene S. Hoyt with the warmest regards of his friend A. B. Frost April 1906." Frost has added a large original drawing of a fox dressed in men's clothing. With a clipped signature inscribed by the author tipped in, "Yours faithfully Joel Chandler Harris." In near fine condition. Bookplate. An exceptional example, most rare and desirable signed and with an original drawing. 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). This volume includes such tales as “Why the Hawk Catches Chickens,” “Why Brother Bull Growls and Grumbles” and “Brother Mud Turtle’s Trickery.” BAL 7125.
