Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Our October book is Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 abolitionist novel Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly. Her book changed American hearts and minds about slavery.

The influence of Uncle Tom's Cabin was so immense that the story arose that when Abraham Lincoln welcomed Stowe to the White House during the American Civil War he reportedly declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war."

In the US, it was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of all after the Bible.
