"The big bee flies high
The little bee makes the honey;
The black folks make the cotton
And the white folks get the money"

I quite liked it. All the stories are supposedly true, some were witnessed by the author some just heard by him. It shows how slaves were treated, how was their life. Some chapters are more interesting than other but all readable. Only some chapters are about Clotel many have different stories in them.
