Epaminondas and His Auntie
- Epaminondas and His Auntie
"Epaminondas and his Auntie" is a book for young children written by Sara Cone Bryant and illustrated by Inez Hogan. It was first published by Buccaneer Books in 1907.
The eponymous main character is a young black boy, similar to Sambo in "The Story of Little Black Sambo" by Helen Bannerman, based on a folk tale from the Southern states of the U.S. Like "Little Black Sambo", it has been criticised for its racist overtones and stereotypes.
Later versions of the tale were published by Constance Egan, Eve Merriam, Mary Claire Pinckney and Cathy East Dubowski. Some versions are written in English or French.
