The stories were compiled by Joel Chandler Harris who grew up on a plantation and heard them from a slave called Uncle Bob Capers.
I lived in West End (atlanta) and the Wren's Nest was part of growing up. It was the home of JC Harris. I went to JC Harris Grammar school. Uncle Remus was one of my first literary heroes. Robert E. Lee was another. I never tried to resolve the dichotomy of that. I will never forget Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear and Brer Fox.
