Book Description
LITTLE MR. THIMBLEFINGER AND HIS QUEER COUNTRY was written by Joel Chandler Harris, author of the Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit stories. This book contains 19 adventures. It also has 34 pen and ink drawings by Oliver Herford which give the stories added life. NOTE: Here the word “queer” in fact means STRANGE and has been used in its original, literal form and does not have the implication of any modern connotation. Here we have the first full adventure by Mr Thimblefinger as he leads his friends – Mr. Rabbit, tortoise, Mr Lion, Sweet Susan, Brother Bear and others, through his strange land. A second book of adventures by Mr Thimblefinger and friends titled “Mr Rabbit at Home” followed (copy ISBN 9788834171943 into your browser to search for this book). And strange they are. Herein we have stories like: Mr. Thimblefinger’s Queer Country Mr. Thimblefinger’s Friends The Talking-Saddle and the Thief The Ladder of Lions The Looking-Glass Children Mr. Rabbit as a Rain-Maker How Brother Bear’s Hair was combed The Strawberry-Girl The Witch of the Well, and many more. The stories themselves belong to three categories. Some of them were gathered from the negroes of the South, but were not embodied in the tales of Uncle Remus, because the author was not sure they were indeed negro stories; some are folklore stories from Middle Georgia, and no doubt belong to England; and some are merely inventions. They were all written in the midst of daily work while the author was working on a morning newspaper. ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Mr Thimblefinger, strange country, strange land, Folklore, fairy tales, myths, legends, childrens stories, bedtime stories, fables, parents with children, classic childrens stories, classic fairy tales, parents to be, fathers with children, mothers with children, babies, childrens books, Magical, delightful, enthralling, Thimblefinger, Rabbit, Brother, Sweetest Susan, Meadows, Lion, Drusilla, John, Buster, children, Valentine, Mayor, Tip-Top, talking saddle, Crow, River, thief, Bear, Chickamy Crany, Mr Lion, laughter, Dolls, Terrapin, tortoise,, honor, honour, morals, beautiful, Granny, Strawberry Girl, peaches and cream, looking-glass, queer, woods, Stag, Billy-Goat, traveller, traveller, Buzzard, Conjurer, gwine, companion, Keen-Point, Grim-Eye, cave, Tickle-My-Toes, witch, Butch, strange looking, Cob Handle, Geraldine, fiddle, violin,, comb, Cat, strawberries, astonished, pomegranate tree, blood-cousins, fiddle string, pumpkins, coachman
