About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit, by Joel Chandler Harris. Read by Phil Chenevert. Uncle Remus' stories feature a trickster hero called Br'er Rabbit ("Brother" Rabbit), who uses his wits to slide out of trouble and gain the advantage over the slower witted other animals, many of whom are trying to eat him. Br'er Rabbit stories were mostly collected directly from the afro-american oral story-telling tradition and are said to be a direct interpretation of Yoruba tales of Hare. This book contains 11 unique stories and was the last one published before the author's death. (Introduction by Phil Chenevert)
