UNCLE REMUS Easton Press
Joel Chandler Harris, Seong Moy
Hardcover
(Easton Press, July 6, 1957)
The Uncle Remus tales are African-American trickster stories about the exploits of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and other creatures. Uncle Remus is a kindly old former slave who passes on the folktales to children gathered around him. These animal stories, songs, and oral folklore were collected from African-Americans in the southern United States, and the stories are written to represent a Deep South dialect.
