  • Series: Mr. Thimblefinger Series Record # 42762
  • Note: Unnamed series of collections by the author of Uncle Remus, serialized under collective titles in The Atlanta Constitution and other newspapers, 1894 to 1897. Successive books are identified as sequels in contemporary newspaper coverage, the second also in its subtitle and the fourth also in chapter 1. "The stories that follow belong to three categories. Some of them were gathered from negroes, but were not embodied in the tales of Uncle Remus, because I was not sure they were negro stories; some are Middle Georgia folklore stories, and no doubt belong to England; and some are merely inventions.   "They were all written in the midst of daily work on a morning newspaper,—a fact that will account in some measure for their crude setting." -- "A Little Note to a Little Book", Little Mr. Thimblefinger, p[iii], signed "J. C. H. // West End, Atlanta, Ga."
