The Complete Tales of Uncle Remus

I loved these stories. They capture so much about life - not just in the South but at the core of people.

Back before being politically correct was everything, there was a time when Southern yarns were appreciated, no matter who the narrator was. Today, much of this book may appear racists to the emasculated professional humanitarians. I don't care. These tales are priceless and Uncle Remus is beloved. Take that, you easily offended weaklings.

This book is a joy to read out loud and try to follow all the mannerisms of Uncle Remus while keeping from a belly burst 'ur.

The eight books of Uncle Remus' tales of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, etc. A pure delight.

If you can get through the dialect, these stories are terrific. The trick, I've found is to read them out loud. When you hear the words, rather than see them, you tend to understand better what is beign said.

What people say about reading aloud is true. My father read these stories to us when we were little, and I loved and understood them. When he bought me a copy and I attempted to read it, complete fail. It will be fun to read it to my own children someday.

The American Aesop, Joel Chandler Harris entertained a generation through his stories published in the Atlanta Constitution newspaper. Later, these stories were compiled, and Disney made a movie and cartoon characters based on these stories. This is the most complete edition available. I found my copy at the Uncle Remus Museum in Eatonton, GA.
