Brer Rabbit
Joel Chandler Harris wrote his Brer Rabbit stories based on oral tales handed down in the Southern United States. Uncle Remus is the kindly former slave who narrates these African-American folktales. The main characters include the trickster hare called Brer Rabbit-who gets by on his wits-and his adversaries Brer Fox and Brer Bear. The original tales have been retold by a number of contemporary writers.
