Joel Chandler Harris 3 hr 4 min read

Two children follow the tiny Mr. Thimblefinger through a spring beneath the mill into a queer country under the water, full of talking animals and wondrous tales.

Joel Chandler Harris's 1895 fantasy, by the creator of Uncle Remus, is a charming collection of folk-flavored children's stories. Warm, whimsical, richly told. Read it for a delightful storybook journey into an upside-down underwater land, from a master of American folk narrative.
