Tales of Uncle Remus (Puffin Modern Classics): The Adventures of Brer Rabbit

Product Information

Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby is one of the many stories in this collection. I do love that movie and I remember seeing Song of the South in theatres and I loved this short so much. It was good to read, real straight forward. I read this out loud to my niece and nephew and they both thought it was funny too. In the collection Seven Tales of Uncle Remus, an unnamed woman squares off against a witch baby in "The Baby & the Punkins". The Splash Mountain ride at Disney World omits the controversial elements of "Song of the South," including Uncle Remus and the tar baby. Harris, Julia Collier, ed. (1931). Joel Chandler Harris, Editor and Essayist. Chapel Hill: Univ. of North Carolina Press. p.103. OCLC 272364.

Harris’s versions of the Brer Rabbit tales were sanitised to entertain white readers. The violence and injustice at the heart of both plantation life and the traditional folktales were tempered. Instead, Harris’s stories offered a more benign view of slavery. Uncle Remus is a kindly man who passes folktales along to the next generation of children. The stories he tells to the children usually center around Br'er Rabbit and his adventures at the Briar Patch often giving out morals what the story is all about (for example, the first Br'er Rabbit story he tells gives a moral that one cannot run away from trouble). In addition to telling stories, he also gives Johnny an advice to be responsible on taking care of Teenchy, Ginny's dog, from Jake and Joe Favers. Joel Chandler Harris 1845 or 48 -- 1908".

In 1872 Harris met Mary Esther LaRose, a seventeen-year-old French-Canadian from Quebec. After a year of courtship, Harris and LaRose married in April 1873. LaRose was 18, and Harris 27 (though publicly admitting to 24). Over the next three years, the couple had two children. Their life in Savannah came to an abrupt halt, however, when they fled to Atlanta to avoid a yellow fever epidemic. [8] Atlanta: 1876–1908 [ edit ]

In Bob Dylan's epic poem " Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie", the author lists several people that are commonly looked to for hope and inspiration, saying "that stuff ain't real". In one verse of the poem, he says "And Uncle Remus can't tell you and neither can Santa Claus." [10] [11] Lester, Julius (1987). The Tales of Uncle Remus: The Adventures of Brer Rabbit. Dial Books.
