About this title: Joel Chandler Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia, the illegitimate son of Mary Harris. At 13 Harris became an apprentice printer on "The Countryman," a plantation newspaper edited and published by Joseph Addison Turner, a highly literate planter, lawyer, and writer. Harris then worked on newspapers in several Southern cities. In 1876 Harris began a twenty-four-year association with the "Atlanta Constitution." He used folklore, fiction, dialect, and other devices of local color to picture both black and white Georgians under slavery and Reconstruction.

"I grew up on this book. My grandfather read every story to me over and over - and with a great voice. As a kid, I didn't see the deeply complex nature of these stories, nor did I understand that this is not a commentary on, nor an abuse of racism.
This book is filled with powerful tales of the evil and the undoing and conniving of men. It is about betrayals and confidence tricksters and outright liars either getting what they deserve, or getting away scott free. If all you know of Joel Chandler Harris is The Tar Baby, you have been sorely misled."
