PUBLISHERS’ NOTE 
Nights with Uncle Remus is a story-book dearly loved by 
children. Besides that, it is an important contribution to the 
study of Afro-American folk-lore, and through many years of 
popularity it has carried a long and learned Introduction, of great 
interest to students but rather forbidding in aspect to youthful 
readers. In this new edition, which has been prepared especially 
for children, and illustrated in colors by an artist who knows how 
to please them as well as their elders, the Introduction has been 
omitted, but the stories and their charming setting have been 
left intact.
