"Uncle Remus," written by Joel Chandler Harris, is a collection of enthralling Southern African-American folktales. The book is a collection of stories told to a young boy named John by the imaginary figure Uncle Remus, an older African-American storyteller. These stories take place on a Southern plantation and contain animals such as Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear. Harris captures the rich oral history of African-American storytelling with skill, preserving these narratives for a larger audience. The stories communicate moral lessons and the intricacies of human nature through Uncle Remus' captivating storytelling. The interactions between Br'er Rabbit and his opponents serve as allegories for numerous life problems, educating readers about wit, cunning, and resourcefulness. "Uncle Remus" is both a literary work and a cultural document, providing light on the complexity of post-Civil War Southern society. While Harris' representation of racial relations has received criticism, the relevance of the book resides in its preservation of these classic legends and realistic picture of a distinct cultural milieu.

His father, whose identity remains unknown, abandoned Mary Ann and the infant shortly after his birth. The parents had never married; the boy was named Joel after his mother's attending physician, Dr. Joel Branham. Chandler was the name of his mother's uncle.[2] Harris remained self-conscious of his illegitimate birth throughout his life.A prominent physician, Dr. Andrew Reid, gave the Harris family a small cottage to use behind his mansion. Mary Harris worked as a seamstress and helped neighbors with their gardening to support herself and her son. She was an avid reader and instilled in her son a love of language: "My desire to write-to give expression to my thoughts-grew out of hearing my mother read The Vicar of Wakefield."Dr. Reid also paid for Harris' school tuition for several years. In 1856, Joe Harris briefly attended Kate Davidson's School for Boys and Girls, but transferred to Eatonton School for Boys later that year. He had an undistinguished academic record and a habit of truancy. Harris excelled in reading and writing, but was mostly known for his pranks, mischief, and sense of humor. Practical jokes helped Harris cloak his shyness and insecurities about his red hair, Irish ancestry, and illegitimacy, leading to both trouble and a reputation as a leader among the older boys.
