It's been more than a hundred years since the publication of the first Uncle Remus book, and it was in 1955 that all of the delightful and inimitable tales of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, and Brer Wolf were gathered together in one volume. All of the animal tales from eight books are here, along with the illustrations which originally accompanied them.

Customer Rating: Summary: The Complete Tales of Uncle Remus Comment: This book was purchased as a gift for a friend after a discussion about the stories that we read to our children as they were growing up. Unfortunately over the years she lost many items because of her husband dislike for things being around. I was very please to see the number of stories and the overall presentation of this book. My youngest child is now 30 years old and I would still like to read these stories just for myself to bring back so many memories.
Customer Rating: Summary: A Good Buy Comment: Purchased this book for my mother as a Christmas present. I read a few of the stories contained within. They are entertaining and engaging, although the language is a bit hard to read at first, but after awhile it does start to flow. Customer Rating: Summary: ! Comment: In English class one year in fourth grade we spent a quarter discussing Uncle Remus' stories.
We discovered they were some of the most complex children's stories.
The stories are funny and told with a light hearted manner, and are sure to delight anyone who reads them. Customer Rating: Summary: Just what I was looking for. Comment: I wanted the complete works, and that's what I got. It was written exactly as I remember reading it years ago. I love reading it to my grand children. Plus some fascinating info on the background of the writer which I didn't know back then. Customer Rating: Summary: wonderful classic Comment: I grew up listening to Brer Rabbit tales. Naturally, when I became a mother, I wanted to share these stories with my child as well. This book is excellent- with pages and pages of great African folktales. Some of the diction is a little difficult to read, but I think that adds to the authenticity. I highly recommend this book!
