Joel Chandler Harris 
Uncle Remus [PDF ebook] 
Or Mr. Fox, Mr. Rabbit, and Mr. Terrapin

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. MY dear frost: I am expected to supply a preface for this new edition of my first book – to advance from behind the curtain, as it were, and make a fresh bow to the public that has dealt with Uncle Remus in so gentle and generous a fashion. For this event the lights are to be rekindled, and I am expected to respond in some formal way to an encore that marks the fifteenth anniversary of the book. There have been other editions – how many I do not remember but this is to be an entirely new one, except as to the matter: new type, new pictures, and new binding.
