Curator Notes:

Houghton, Mifflin, c 1892; 'as I wrote them with my own children around me, or with their voices sounding not far away, I seemed to see other children laughingas the homely stories were read to them....Naturally these stories are written in what is called the negro dialect. It seemed to be unavoidable. I sympathize deeply and hartily with the protest that has been made against abuse of dialect'; a few illustrated plates are missing from this copy; spine and front cover major titles stamped in gold on dull green cloth, spine and front cover minor titles, decorations and vignettes printed in black
