The story is told in third person. The sections about the real-life times of Uncle Remus and his friends are told with a limited view, typically only focusing on Uncle Remus. Harris stays true to the dialect of the old South, but his own notes - such as facts inserted about Uncle Remus or questions posed by the little boys - are written in proper English, though still sometimes slightly old-fashioned.
