en-wikipedia-org-176		Joel Chandler Harris - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	6430	670	69	Joel Chandler Harris (December 9, 1848 – July 3, 1908) was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. As Joel Chandler Harris, fiction writer and folklorist, he wrote many 'Brer Rabbit' stories from the African-American oral tradition and helped to revolutionize literature in the process.[1] He absorbed the stories, language, and inflections of people like Uncle George Terrell, Old Harbert, and Aunt Crissy.[7] The African-American animal tales they shared later became the foundation and inspiration for Harris's Uncle Remus tales. On July 20, 1879, Harris published "The Story of Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Fox as Told by Uncle Remus" in The Atlanta Constitution. Children's literature analyst John Goldthwaite argues that the Uncle Remus tales are "irrefutably the central event in the making of modern children's story."[36] Harris's influence on British children's writers such as Kipling, Milne, Potter, Burgess and Blyton is substantial.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-176.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-176.txt
