Joel Chandler Harris: Uncle Remus Tells 17 Wonderful Stories
Joel Chandler Harris
I am the narrator of this wonderful series of Uncle Remus stories. As a small boy in 1944 New Orleans, one of my fondest memories is of my father telling me Uncle Remus stories before my Sunday nap time. His strong French/Cajun accent just made them more memorable and I would drift off to sleep seeing Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Bear in my dreams having all sorts of adventures. Thank you dad! These recordings are a sort of tribute to him and the entire world of Uncle Remus, that genial old storyteller. who came from another time. Maybe not a better time, but certainly one that knew how to spin entertaining tales about the 'criteers' that the little 6 year old boy (and many of us adults!) love to listen to. The 'Brer Rabbit and 'Brer Fox and the others sound a lot like the people all around us. They tell stories about personalities and faults and virtues in a way that is unique to Uncle Remus. So, as the shadows grow longer outside, draw up a rocking chair next to the little boy, settle back and listen to the wise old man tell these stories. These 17 stories were specially chosen from Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings and include The Wonderful Tar-Baby Story, Miss Cow falls a Victim to Mr. Rabbit; Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs; Mr. Rabbit grossly deceives Mr. Fox and lots of others.
