Uncle Remus: The Complete Tales

Uncle Remus: The Complete Tales

• Used Book in Good Condition

Brer Rabbit is causing trouble again for his fellow creatures Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and the rest--this time in an omnibus edition that brings together all the stories from <b>Tales of Uncle Remus, More Tales of Uncle Remus, Further Tales of Uncle Remus</b>, and <b>Last Tales of Uncle Remus</b>.<p>The Uncle Remus tales, originally written down by Joel Chandler Harris, were first published over a hundred years ago, and serve as the largest collection of African-American folklore. In this four-book series, <b>Julius Lester</b> masterfully retains the flavor of the tales, while dropping the heavy dialect of the Harris originals and adding contemporary language and references-- ensuring that the stories will be understood and enjoyed by new generations of readers. And, of course, the stories are beautifully illuminated by the slyly humorous full-color and black-and-white art of Jerry Pinkney. The result is a treasure of a volume that will delight all ages and belongs on every shelf.</p>
