Abstract

en_US Here is a lovely reproduction of the (original?) edition by Frederick A. Stokes Company. I have it listed under 1907? The biggest change I find is that the pages here are printed on both sides. Let me quote my comments from that earlier edition. Eleven stories, five of them in verse in this sideways book. The first and last stories are four pages long; all others are six. This edition keeps the dialect language. I recognize only one of these stories (How Brer Rabbit Got a House) after reading the original Uncle Remus, His Songs and Sayings (1880). Especially with the 1906 copyright, could it be that these stories are from one of Harris' later Uncle Remus books? Excellent colored illustrations. Some pages have two illustrations and some only one. Finding this beautiful book convinced me for some reason to put a few editions of Brer Rabbit stories into this collection. That may not be my most logical decision ever, but I am glad to have found the book! I wonder who did the illustrations. This last question concerning the earlier edition has still not been answered for me.
