- Beschrijving:
- The Wren's Nest was the home of Joel Chandler Harris, author of the Uncle Remus Tales. Harris lived in the Queen Anne Victorian home from 1881 to 1908, and penned many of the Brer Rabbit tales on the front porch. Visit the Wren's Nest for daily tours and storytelling every Saturday.
Joel Chandler Harris recreated the oral tradition of the Brer Rabbit tales in print between 1876 and 1908. Their success made Harris one of the most popular American writers for the next 50 years. His first collection, Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings, has been translated into nearly 30 languages and has never gone out of print. At the time of his death in 1908, Harris' popularity as a writer was surpassed only by that of his friend and admirer Mark Twain.
By preserving the legacy of Joel Chandler Harris and the heritage of African American folklore through storytelling, tours and special events, the Wren’s Nest serves as an educational resource and entertainment venue for the community, the greater Atlanta area and visitors from around the globe. - Toegevoegd door
