"This book deals with the Afro-American of the early twentieth century and is rich in folk beliefs attending every phase of daily life. The author has been unusually successful in portraying the relation between Aunt Betsey and the little boy, John; and Uncle Alford's tales of Brer Mole, Brer Rabbit, Brer Crickit, and many others have been considered by some readers to excel Uncle Remus. Humor pervades the book."
