Customer Reviews

This is a significant text from the Harlem Renaissance Era.

This work by an important author of the Harlem Renaissance focuses on African American folk life, folklore, and folk music (Blues) during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It is a delightful first work of fiction by the author. The character of the protagonist is based on that of his Uncle Buddy, who inspired his love for the folk tradition.
