Title: Not what I expected at all - very hard to read!
Product review: While I can appreciate the author's attept to preserve the colloquial expressions of the era, and most especially of the "Negro Speech" of the time, this has rendered the entire book to be virtually unreadable. It is not unlike attempting to read "Olde Englishe", except with fewer dialect rules. I found it to be very difficult to the point where the whole book was was pretty useless. If you are looking for readable Folk Tales, I would suggest going to "Best Loved Folktales of the World" by Joanna Cole. This Uncle Remus work was, sadly, a *huge* disappointment for me.
