Uncle Toms Cabin

Uncle Toms cabin is written by Harriet Beecher Stowe and is a story set in the times of slavery and about the tradings of the slave traders.
     Mr Shelby is a kindly man who lives in Kentucky. His wife is a christian woman and does not believe in slave tradings. The couple treat their slaves with respect but when Mr Shelby is forced into selling his wife's maid's, four year old  who she is completely devoted to, Eliza runs away with her son and trys to follow her husband's footsteps to Canada. But she is closely chased by three slave traders who want her and her son.
    I did not enjoy this book because it had a lot of words that I did not understand, therefore I think that this is an adults book, rather than a childs.
