BAL: 7168 First edition.</p><p>Uncle Remus Returns is a posthumous collection of African American folktales compiled by Joel Chandler Harris and published in book form in 1918. The volume serves as a sequel to his highly popular yet historically controversial plantation folklore series. The text originally appeared as stories published between 1905 and 1906 in the <em>Metropolitan Magazine</em> before being consolidated into a single volume. Folklore scholars note that the stories in this specific volume weave together a mix of traditional African European and regional indigenous folklore themes.</p><p>Joel Chandler Harris was an American journalist fiction writer and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories.
