Uncle Remus Stories on Records by RCA Victor, Rare Antique Colletible, Black....
"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 Atlanta, and he produced seven Uncle Remus books. He wrote these stories to represent the struggle in the Southern United States, and more specifically in the plantations. 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 Deep South African-American language of the time. For these framing and stylistic choices, Harris' collection has endured controversy at the time of its publication.
