Джоэль Чандлер Харрис (1848–1908) - американский журналист, писатель и фольклорист, создатель знаменитых "Сказок дядюшки Римуса". Книга родилась из плодотворной журналистской работы Харриса. В своих газетных статьях, очерках и заметках он затрагивал многие общественные вопросы, последовательно отстаивая ценность расовой терпимости и необходимость гражданских прав для афроамериканцев. Харрис также был одним из пионеров литературной записи фольклора чернокожих, причем умел мастерски воссоздавать диалектную речь. Однажды, в период, когда Харрис работал хроникером в газете Atlanta Constitution, его попросили заменить временно отсутствующего писателя-фолькориста Сэма Смола. Именно тогда родился образ обаятельного чернокожего дядюшки Римуса, любящего позабавить слушателей юмористическими историями и заметками о суетливой жизни послевоенной Атланты. Писатель вспомнил сказки, которые десятилетием раньше слышал на плантации Тёрнволд, и на их основе написал еще несколько рассказов, а к 1880 году собрал достаточно материала для выпуска книги. Книга "Дядюшка Римус, его песни и сказки" сделала Харриса известным не только на родине, но и по всему миру. Она сыграла значительную роль в сохранении и популяризации фольклора чернокожих и оказала влияние на целый ряд англоязычных писателей, включая Р. Киплинга, У. Фолкнера, Ф. О’Коннор, Р. Эллисона и Т. Моррисон. Неадаптированное издание на английском языке.
