Uncle Remus is a fictional character, the storyteller in the seven books written by the author Joel Chandler Harris. The books written about him represent a collection of folk tales, animal stories and songs collected from the African Americans living in the Southern United States.
This is another book in the line of the seven about Uncle Remus. It contains seventy-one tales, myths and legends which represent the most popular narratives of the author. The stories are told by four slave storytellers. Here, apart from the stories, you will find included illustrations in colors suiting the content of the stories.
This book, along with the other books about Uncle Remus, which has been read and loved by children for so many years, is considered as an important contribution to the study and understanding of the Afro-American folklore and culture.
