	Folklore in Books by Virginia Hamilton
		Hamilton, a native of Yellow Springs, Ohio (north of the Appalachian mountains), was named Virginia because her grandfather was taken from slavery in Virginia to Ohio in the 1850s, and then his mother disappeared with her name unknown.
		Hamilton's use of his image powerfully represents the spirit of Africa becoming embedded in the American landscape, even though many slaves or their descendants lost conscious memories of their African heritage (and Pearl as a human forgets where she came from and where she got the stories she tells).
		Virginia Hamilton's maternal grandfather, Levi Perry, was taken as a child from slavery in Virginia into freedom in Ohio, and later told stories of slavery to his family.

		Hamilton's maternal grandfather, Levi Perry, had escaped as a child, from slavery in Virginia, by crossing the Ohio River to freedom.

Du Bois, and collections of African-American folklore and slavery-era "liberation" stories.

		Virginia Hamilton is the most important author currently writing for children in the United States.(1) The point is perhaps an arguable one, but I think few critics of children's literature would deny Hamilton's significance as an international author of children's books.
		One of the most powerful recurring issues in the Hamilton canon that demonstrates this awareness is her emphasis on the social effects of inclusion and exclusion on people.
		But Virginia Hamilton's novels offer one more layer of complexity to Lanser's narrative paradigm, for the novels I discuss here are narrated by an extradiegetic, public child narrator who listens to and is challenged by at least one intradiegetic adult narrator.
