Summary:
Brer Rabbit is causing trouble again for his fellow creatures Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and the rest -- this time in an omnibus edition that brings together all the stories from Tales of Uncle Remus, More Tales of Uncle Remus, Further Tales of Uncle Remus, and Last Tales of Uncle Remus. The Uncle Remus tales, originally written down by Joel Chandler Harris, were first published over a hundred years ago, and serve as the largest collection of African-American folklore. In this four-book series, Julius Lester retains the flavor of the tales, while dropping the heavy dialect of the Harris originals and adding contemporary language and references.
