Three traditional Brer Rabbit tales, retold in verse. I'm keeping it for the Edward Gorey illustrations, but I think the poetry is just bad.
It's a funny book. Almost every Brer Rabbit story collection seems to have a different kind of illustration of Brer Rabbit. This book has the best illustrations of Brer Rabbit because he looks so deceptively helpless. I love Brer Rabbit because he has such good tricks.
