In "Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit," Joel Chandler Harris masterfully captures the oral traditions of African American folklore, interweaving them into a rich tapestry that celebrates the humor and wit inherent in storytelling. Set against the backdrop of the post-Civil War South, the book features the iconic trickster figure Brer Rabbit, whose clever escapades outsmart larger and seemingly more powerful animals. Harris'Äô narrative style blends dialect and narrative voice, reflecting the authentic speech patterns of the time while evoking a sense of intimacy and familiarity, inviting readers into the world of Uncle Remus, the storyteller. This literary work functions as both a collection of folk tales and as a commentary on the complexities of race and identity in America during the Reconstruction era. Joel Chandler Harris, an influential American journalist and folklorist, drew from his experiences in Georgia, where he encountered the rich oral traditions of African American communities. His work was shaped by the cultural landscape of the South, and his role as a newspaper editor provided him with the platform to preserve and popularize these tales. Harris'Äô deep appreciation for the folk narratives he collected is evident in his meticulous attention to dialect and detail, fostering a sense of authenticity. "Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit" is a timeless classic that not only entertains but also enlightens readers about the complexities of Southern culture and the resilience of African American identity. Suitable for readers of all ages, this book invites exploration of moral themes, community values, and the enduring human spirit, making it a vital addition to any literary collection.

THE CREETURS GO TO THE BARBECUE
“Once ’pon a time,” said Uncle Remus to the little boy—“But when was once upon a time?” the child interrupted to ask. The old man smiled. “I speck ’twuz one time er two times, er maybe a time an’ a half. You know when Johnny Ashcake ’gun ter bake? Well, ’twuz ’long in dem days. Once ’pon a time,” he resumed, “Mr. Man had a gyarden so fine dat all de neighbors come ter see it. Some ’ud look at it over de fence, some ’ud peep thoo de cracks, an’ some ’ud come an’ look at it by de light er de stars. An’ one un um wuz ol’ Brer Rabbit; starlight, moonlight, cloudlight, de nightlight wuz de light fer him. When de turn er de mornin’ come, he ’uz allers up an’ about, an’ a-feelin’ purty well I thank you, suh!
“Now, den, you done hear what I say. Dar wuz Mr. Man, yander wuz de gyarden, an’ here wuz ol’ Brer Rabbit.” Uncle Remus made a map of this part of the story by marking in the sand with his walking-cane. “Well, dis bein’ de case, what you speck gwineter happen? Nothin’ in de roun’ worl’ but what been happenin’ sence greens an’ sparrer-grass wuz planted in de groun’. Dey look fine an’ dey tas’e fine, an’ long to’rds de shank er de mornin’, Brer Rabbit ’ud creep thoo de crack er de fence an’ nibble at um. He’d take de greens, but leave his tracks, mo’ speshually right atter a rain. Takin’ an’ leavin’—it’s de way er de worl’.
“Well, one mornin’, Mr. Man went out in his truck patch, an’ he fin’ sump’n missin’—a cabbage here, a turnip dar, an’ a mess er beans yander, an’ he ax how come dis? He look ’roun’, he did, an’ he seed Brer Rabbit’s tracks what he couldn’t take wid ’im. Brer Rabbit had lef’ his shoes at home, an’ come bar’footed.
“So Mr. Man, he call his dogs ‘Here, Buck! Here, Brinjer! Here, Blue!’ an’ he sicc’d um on de track, an’ here dey went!
“You’d ’a’ thunk dey wuz runnin’ atter forty-lev’m rhinossyhosses fum de fuss dey made. Brer Rabbit he hear um comin’ an’ he put out fer home, kinder doublin’ ’roun’ des like he do deze days.
