Author

Joel Chandler Harris (1848–1908) was an American journalist and folklorist best known for Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings — stories drawn from African American oral tradition and told through the voice of Uncle Remus. Harris preserved Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and other trickster tales that had travelled across generations.
