Joel Chandler Harris : a Biography and Critical Study

"This biography and critical study reconstructs Harris's life and career from his humble origins as an illegitimate child and plantation - newspaper printer's devil through his years in Macon, Forsyth, Savannah, and Atlanta. When Harris dies in 1908, his national and international popularity rivaled his friend Mark Twain's. A psychologically complex person, Harris became an accomplished Southern local colorist who left multiple legacies as an American humorist, folklorist, New South journalist, children's writer, and author. He helped make the Old South New."--Back cover.
