ct; but the history of the plantation, the
printing-office, the black runaways, and white deserters, of whom
the impending break-up made the community tolerant, the coon and
fox hunting, forms the serious purpose of the book, and holds the
reader's interest from beginning to end. Like 'Daddy Jake,' this
is a good anti-slavery tract in disguise, and does credit to Mr.
Harris's humanity. There are amusing illustrations by E. W.
Kemble."--_New York Evening Post._

"A charming little book, tastefully gotten up.... Its simplicity,
humor, and individuality would be very welcome to any one who was
weary of the pretentiousness and the dull obviousness of the
average three-volume novel."--_London Chronicle._

"The mirage of war vanishes and reappears like an ominous shadow
on the horizon, but the stay-at-home whites of the Southern
Confederacy were likewise threatened by fears of a servile
insurrection. This dark dread exerts its influence on a narration
which is otherwise cheery with boyhood's fortunate freedom from
anxiety, and sublime disregard for what the morrow may bring
forth. The simple chronicle of old times 'on the plantation'
concludes all too soon; the fire burns low and the tale is ended
just as the reader becomes acclimated to the mid-Georgian
village, and feels thoroughly at home with Joe and Mink. The 'Owl
and the Birds,' 'Old Zip Coon,' the 'Big Injun and the Buzzard,'
are joyous echoes of the plantation-lore that first delighted us
in 'Uncle Remus.' Kemble's illustrations, evidently studied from
life, are interspersed in these pages of a book of consummate
charm."--_Philadelphia Ledger._
