Talk:To Be a Slave

Classification
We call this book a "children's novel" but library catalog records show it has been called Biography. One record for the first edition identifies Julius Lester as "compiler". One record for the Thirtieth Anniversary Edition provides this summary:
 * A compilation, selected from various sources and arranged chronologically, of the reminiscences of slaves and ex-slaves about their experiences from the leaving of African through the Civil War and into the early twentieth century.
